I’ve covered Dr Karl’s re-purposed ABC radio science call show in a previous review, in which Dr Karl tries to provide answers to some of those everyday questions in life, like can you sense if it’s going to rain by smell and why is poo brown. In this podcast Dr Karl, concentrates on a single subject, in this case a great moment in science and goes into it in some detail. Actually it’s only usually a 5 minute podcast, but it’s surprising how much you can squeeze into such a short space.

I have to say the thing that makes this podcast and indeed Dr Karl’s previously reviewed podcast, is Dr Karl himself. If schools could make learning this interesting and indeed fun and have teachers that actually want to you would have children fighting to get into their classes.

Conclusion : With ever increasing amounts of great podcasts to listen to, it’s great to find podcasts that are like little snack bites of entertainment. When they are this good, there is no reason not to subscribe. Hey you might even learn a thing or two.
