Podcast Spotlight: Science Sort of

This one isn't a crafty podcast but it's quickly turned into one of my favorites.

 

Science Sort of... tends to be one of the longer podcasts I listen to (usually taking both the commute home and to work). It's not JUST science-y stuff. They do a segment on science news, with guests who are experts in the field. The next segment is always the beer/drinking segment. Everyone has a beverage of choice and gets to talk about beer (or wine, or liquor or juices or....).

The Trailer Trash Talk segment sounds hicky but it's really them discussing/rating a trailer (not the movie - just the trailer). This segment is usually funny but could get heated if a "geek" movie is discussed.

Then we move on to more science stuff. These guys/gals are really great podcasters. Very smart, very funny but they know to ask the questions that the average Joe is wondering out there. Nothing is dumbed down and when it's all over, you feel you've learned something. I tend to share particularly good facts with co-workers and friends (regarding elephant sex, for example).

This podcast is actually part of a network of podcasts called the Brachiolope Media Network and so far, I've liked all the other podcasts on the network. But Science Sort Of is the daddy.
