good and informative however, I wish there wasn't so much talking over eachother it can be deafening sometimes I think the show would work better with just two presenters instead of three as everyone is just fighting to speak and you can't understand so much of what's being said.

overall good

I hope to goodness Ray is wrong about uploading your brain to the cloud by the end of this decade.
That is one bandwagon I won't be jumping on.

Love Neil's thinly veiled bemusement on this.

I’ve listened to a few podcasts and this HAS to be the best one! I’m a space nerd myself and I love all of this, perfect when I’m cycling to school and back.

The only podcast I’d listen to.

I usually love this kind of material, but only got half way through an episode. I didn't overly enjoy the style or presentation. However, even if I had, I wouldn't continue to listen as THERE ARE ADS!! This is not something I've ever encountered in years of using Audible. If I pay a subscription fee, I do not expect a podcast episode to have MULTIPLE insertions of an obnoxious ad for Ladbrokes gambling in there. Disgusting.

THERE ARE ADS???
