Enlightening
One of my favorite podcast. I end up listening to these multiple times out of both enjoyment and information. Highly recommended.

Interesting and engaging!
I appreciate Dr. Von Hippel’s ability to make science understandable and interesting. I enjoy his show, I learn something new each time.

Disappointing
The host is very intelligent and knowledgeable, guests and subjects typically the same but when the political bias and one sidedness comes out it is very alienating and frustrating! If the host would sometimes have guests on he does not always see eye to eye with, and presented current topics more broadly and had a real and nuanced discussion it would be much more palatable. This is science after all - always evolving and never black and white. Please consider staying more open to other possibilities and ideas or toning down your broad biases when speaking.

Fascinating information
After hearing Frank von Hippel be interviewed on #1540 of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast I craved more. I was so excited to find this Science History Podcast. While the topics discussed are enlightening I do wish some of his podcasts were only Frank von Hippel himself speaking. When he interjects information during the interviews his tone of voice is soothing and the manner in which he conveys the information keeps me fully engaged. I really hope he decides to read his own book.

Broad AND nuanced
The wide scope of topics covered are sure to pique the interests of many, but the intimate conversations with the guests make the show both conversational and digestible for scientists, historians and everyone between.

Real Science History
This is the only science history podcast I am aware of that is not dummed down for the general public. Additionally, the guests are people who are famous in their specific fields, rather than science communicators: as a result the conversations are typically complex and nuanced.
