Informative and entertaining
Rod and Tariq put on an entertaining show full of informative stories and interesting guests. I’ve enjoyed tuning in for years. To all the reviews complaining about the so-called political nature of this show please grow up. I listen to podcasts for information and often opinions other than mine talk to a mirror if you only want to hear what you already know. Keep up the great work guys.

Episode 178, "Tell it to the Mountain," was not about space
This Week in Space is usually very good, but this episode went down a political rabbit hole. Some episodes touch on national politics, but they stick to relevant topics (e.g., NASA budget, administration priorities). This episode fell off the wagon with a political wanna-be spouting about the 1st Amendment, Texas politics and other topics unrelated to space. I couldn't finish the episode. I'm not going to unsubscribe - yet. Hopefully this is a single aberration. If it happens again, count me out. I tune in for space news and bad jokes, not political rants.

Fascinating work!
Thank you so much for your interviews with knowledgable people about space. I feel I have learned so much. I wish I was 20 years old starting out again. Your jokes are corny, but cute. Keep up the great work, great to listen to each week.

Unmannered Host
I’m not putting up with Rod’s behavior, constantly berating and belittling his cohosts, and I certainly don’t want to listen to him yelling at them.

Great podcast for space enthusiasts
This podcast is great for anyone interested in space. They have interesting guests and the host are are exceptional. The space jokes at the beginning of each episode are terrible though :-)

I love the news but….
This could easily be my top favorite podcast of all time… If the political bias of the gentleman speaking could potentially be curved to not be offensive to half the country.
When you guys stick to space it’s amazing. But your political opinions, 100% turn me off.

I would give it a 5 star rating but Rods Trump Derangement Syndrome is to much. In typical lib fashion he can’t stop himself.

Great Info
Thanks for the podcast!

Ok, but often silly and inaccurate
A welcome addition to the space scene, I had high hopes. But the show waffles too much between silly and serious. Not terribly concerned with accuracy: hosts not receptive to corrections of factual errors. I guess everyone only wants to hear positive feedback these days.

Great source of sPace based news!

Enjoyable Science and Space Travel Updates
Some scientific podcasts are unlistenable due to jargon and terrible cold fish hosts. This one is the exception! The hosts are warm and friendly and don't take themselves too serious! My fav space podcast.
Happy Phone-Happy Life
Great information
Love the content of the podcast, two really knowledgeable guys as hosts.

Come for the cheesy space jokes…
Stay to learn more about what’s going on in Space!

Good show
A good space news and information show. Space jokes that are even funny sometimes 😂.
Covers a wide variety of topics in depth.
I give it four stars because it is uneven from episode to episode but that is me having high expectations. The co-hosts are sometimes more a space enthusiast than fully informed. As editors and writers at publications I hope they can take it up a level.

The best space jokes available
At the beginning of each episode they have great corny space jokes, sometimes more than one!

Episode 94, 2024 Look Ahead
Drop the personal attacks on companies taking this country into the future (Rod), and stick to reporting the facts. Defending Blue Origin’s technical approach (the company whose main product blew up after several launches) and criticizing SpaceX for their approach (“We don’t just want to toss them up and see if they explode”, Rod) is childish and naive. One more episode like this and you’ll lose another listener. No wonder the show is suffering.

Fun and factual, two actual Space Journalists
Great show, and family friendly from the obligatory space dad jokes to the friendly ribbing. Great guests and guest hosts, actual experts in their field like a famous meteorite hunter or former NASA bigwigs. I particularly learned a lot from the critical, practical look at the business prospects of the space launch companies and the space internet companies. (We’ve already seen some of the predicted consolidation.) The “what happens when you die in space” episode with someone who actually worked on that with NASA was gruesome and funny.
PS The This Week In Tech Network has the best audio in the podcast business — AND the best video!! — this podcast is also available in video on YouTube or you can get it in the whole TWIT Network Video feed.

Not worth a twit.
Late comer to the Space News genre. Owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party. Latest edition I listened to sounds like two stoned kids day dreaming. Interspaced with adverts for Twitter crap.

Excellent synopsis of Space and as Sci-Fi
I really enjoy this Podcast! Rod, Tarik, and their many guests provide an excellent exploration of current and past events with regard to Space and Space exploration. Rod and Tarik provide excellent analysis each week, and their individual accomplishments provide an excellent and unique perspective that I find invaluable. I am happliy a TWIT club subscriber to support shows such as this one!

My favorite show on the twit network.

Filler
This show is light on the “This Week In” and heavy with filler. Most episodes have a (very brief) headlines section, and then some kind of interview about space history or something. Title of the show should be “Space headlines and other space adjacent stuff”

Informative and easy to listen to.
Anyone who is curious about apace and the universe will find this very informative. It’s a good place to keep up with current developments and new discoveries. Not so technical that regular people can’t understand.
