Quick way to find out about new things in science

Love the chemistry between friends Calli and Nate whom are the hosts, Also, them going over and discussing current science topics.

While due to format, they don't go in depth on the topics, it is a great way to get enough about new topics to decide if you want to find out more.

Much more entertaining and enjoyable than trying to go alone to find interesting science topics!

It's almost like you're just sitting down with friends and discussing the topics.
