Respectful interviews, factual reporting and unashamed to admit if wrong on previous episodes. A great weekly listen for staying up to date on various topics and fields of scientific study. I personally love the "Science or Fiction" segment at the end of each episode.

Science Fiction can give us the illusion things like space travel will be easy. This dispells that notion, but gives hope on other sci-fi promises.

Good intoduction to future science.
