    Interesting, accessible, and fun!
    I love that this podcast is accessible to people of varying science experiences. It’s not as verbose as other microbe podcasts, which I have found can be hard to keep up with despite working in the field. They take the time to introduce new concepts slowly without assuming. The topics I’ve also really enjoyed. I will undoubtedly be binging!
  • U.Kh
    Great.Brief.Interesting
    Ah, actually we need more of this podcast.
  • D20chick
    Quality
    There should be more pidcasts like this.
  • caratj
    Great podcast
    Aptly brief podcasts about interesting and hot topics in the microbial world. Would recommend to people in the field or those wishing to inform themselves.
  • MizOkada
    Good!
    Interesting topics, well presented.
