Neil deGrasse Tyson / Edward Snowden podcast...

[Ichinisan]

I listened to this yesterday and and I continue to be thoroughly impressed with Mr. Snowden. The man speaks eloquently and clearly in a way that's hard to disagree with.

"Startalk"

Doesn't really start until 1m20s.

I'll grab it tomorrow. How is the podcast in general? Worth subscribing?

I have listened to the podcast for a while. For me its hit and miss. Some are fascinating and some are bland depending on what interests you. Its called startalk but they rarely talk about the stars.

I subscribed after listening...and it's the first podcast I've ever subscribed to. I found it when it came up in my Facebook feed.

I gave it a chance and didn't care for it, there are much better astronomy podcasts out there. There was too little science or talk of astronomy, too much bs.

Might try it out.

I'm reserving judgment.

I'll probably check it out; thanks for the link.

It was pretty good. It starts out meh but it gets better. After 22 minutes or so.

Just finished listening. Pretty high level overview for a 'geek's' show. I'm also not sure I like Neil's interview style. I'd have preferred Terry Gross :^P

I'll listen to a couple more podcasts before I decide, and certainly if he has Snowden on again, but my time's limited for news talk.

Try the BBC Sky at Night podcast, much more in depth and less juvenile sounding interviews.

Haven't even listened to Fresh Air in awhile myself.

Used to be a regular fan.

Will do!

Seems like she can make any subject interesting. They'll post a synopsis earlier in the day, and I'll think "lame", but when it comes on, it holds my attention.

Part 2 is published.

Thanks! I'll grab it Monday.

Like Bill Maher, annoying host, watch for the guest.
