    Keep it up
    The podcast is good, but I’m really intrigued by Josh’s point of view and enjoy how he breaks everything down for undereducated folks such as myself to understand. Go science! And keep up the good work!

    Informative and fun at the same time
    I can't say I have come across many science podcasts that are both informative and fun -- amazingly this podcast does both and makes me feel connected to important developments in astronomy.

    Great science podcast!
    I look forward to this every week, it’s one of my favorites. Jim is hilarious!
  • S-DUBB
    Is Jim the best or is it just me?
    This is the best podcast of its kind. Hands down.

    Awesome and easy to understand
    This crew makes it simple to understand complex concepts. Highly recommend for anyone interested in space and science

    I couldn't delete it
    I haven't been listening to podcasts during the pandemic times as much as I used to, when they helped me through rush hour traffic. I had over 2,000 hours built up so I had to start deleting and unsubscribing whole swaths of science podcasts that I had been devoted to for years. I heard about WTG from the Are We There Yet podcast and subscribed in 2019. This is one I couldn't delete and I think the reason why is that it is good hardcore science provided in a fun way, like a good conversation among friends. With no pandering to the public. So it's a keeper for me. I guess I've been listening to podcasts for 10 years. I've only written 3 reviews. THIS is #3. Oh and my contribution to a name for a group of black holes: The Well of Holes.

    Entertaining and informative
    Been listening since almost the beginning. Very entertaining and informative. Love the three hosts’ chemistry. I usually get bored and move on to another podcasts.

    Great topics. Jim is really good at explaining complex ideas. Trivia is fun

    Fun and quirky
    Super great podcast. I appreciate the level of detail they go into for certain stories. An appropriate level for intro students and professionals alike. They are fun to listen to and I would recommend this to my physics students for sure! Plus those commercials!
  • ShadowAspect3
    Great substance
    Mostly I love listening to this as I’m working and catch a few funny moments. Not keen on Adrienne chiming in so much and so nonchalantly. Love you all however and keep up the great work!

    Educational and fun
    I don’t know much about space but I think it’s really interesting and this podcast is a fun way to learn about what’s going on with new launches, recent discoveries, and other fun history. It’s like listening in to a casual conversation about the science of space and has many fun sci-fi references.

    from the outside
    I’m not involved in the field at all, just an all things-space geek. This podcast was one of my favorite discoveries. Keep recording please. :)

    Student
    I am a student at UCF and took astronomy to fill in a credit and I’m so glad I did. A week or so ago my professor told us about a podcast he participates in and I started listening to it because I enjoy podcasts a lot. This podcasts holds all the aspects of the class that I love the most, the interesting topic and theories you get to talk about once you understand the basics of the course. I will be a full time listener now.

    Headache inducing
    There’s some great information to be heard here, but one person constantly interrupts when others are speaking, finishing their sentences and often derailing the point that was being made. I listened to a few episodes but couldn’t take it anymore.
  • DavidRavenMoon
    My favorite podcast!
    I love these guys. The show is full of great information, and they are as silly as can be!
  • ayesha faisal
    Nice!
    My professor is a part of this podcast and he’s pretty cool
  • Flerk69
    Learned nothing
    To many sighs interruptions and talk overs, needless laughs, inane questions, poor mix, really, maybe just one of you, with some science knowledge, could carry on. Not funny, but could be informative, if you cut loose the two pieces of baggage that say “cool”, “wow”, “yah”, “go for it”, and other inanities. Guess who is the baggage?
  • Astrophilia
    Love this podcast!
    This is the place to get “Nerd News”, science facts and witty banter. The hosts have great chemistry with one another that will keep you laughing and learning all the way through! Keep up the great work guys. Always looking forward to the next episode. Sincerely, “Your biggest fan” ;)
  • KevinICdesigner
    Fairly good content wrapped in too much irrelevance
    Less banter, concentrate on the science.
  • MANI 62
    My professor is rad
    He taught a astronomy class that was pretty lit
  • AyliaMC
    Fun Conversation and Interesting Topics
    Love listening to this podcast. Always something interesting and relevant about the world of science, and as someone who is not a scientist, I love hearing what's going on. They always explain things in a very clear and understandable way.
  • Kevin Cannon
    Great space podcast, or greatest space podcast?
    Keept it up guys! Hope to join as a guest sometime soon.

    Science Friday meets Comic Book Men
    Science and nerdy pop culture! Where else can you hear about the latest space missions, have an argument over how you pronounce Tyco Brahe's name and discuss DC's Justice League. Keep up the awesome work!
  • Astro-nut about space
    Love it
    A great way to get my galaxy fix.
  • Oswaldo Felix
    Lots of fun
    Keep up the good work. Very enjoyable.

    Keep em' coming
    I love the podcast. A good galactic journey.
  • 120waterhead
    To low a volume
    They have good content, but the volume is way to low. I have the volume on my mac up to 100%, but can barley hear it. If that gets fixed I then can give it another star
