Neil is a legend and does a terrific job of breaking down complex topics. I’m also a huge fan of (Lord) Chuck Nice. For a layperson he has an incredible understanding of the topics but as a nonscientist keeps the others in check to not go too far astray from common understanding. The show is hugely entertaining and leaves you feeling smarter.

The definitive Post Apocalyptic story is “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy

Very good

Brilliant discussion with Sara Imari Walker, theoretical physicist, a deep dive into theories of what life is, and the difference between ‘life” and something being “alive,” The question of complexity and are other kinds of life (non-DNA or different DNA), synthetic biology. The usual comedy duo of Neil and Chuck, but Chuck asks some very good questions and clarifications.

Please bring Kate the chemist back on star talk because it’s very interesting to hear her takes plus Neil’s. Seriously the episodes with her in them I’ve listened to many times I just love having both of my role models in one podcast ( I’m a 12 year old girl by the way). This podcast is also one of few resources for one of the fields I want to go into ( astrophysics or astrochemistry).

in the latest episode with Daniel Levitin on music you interrupt him AND lgrill him demanding facts etc It is clear Daniel is a leader in his field- and you continue to undermine him- why can’t you meet these people where they are at? it sounds like you are threatened by any other scientist who may know something you do not - you tell us to keep looking up so take your own advice! arg ….so frustrating to listen to

Hi guys love the show! I can’t believe you guys talked about convergent evolution and didn’t mention wings, mammals, birds, insects, fish! It’s the best example. Anyway, really appreciate all that you do. Glen Mayers, northeast Pennsylvania

I love this podcast so far! I of course love space and all things astrological theory, so I am a huge Neil deGrasse Tyson fan! How did I not know that he had a podcast!? I wish the audio quality was a little better though. It often sounds a little bit zoom call-ish and Neil’s audio comes in very whistly and harsh on S sounds, while I have to turn the volume up for the guest audio and back down when Neil speaks. Otherwise loving the pod! Loving the guests and topics!

I love this podcast so much continue making it guys thanks

You have wonderful guests talking about interesting subjects but I can’t listen to you anymore. It’s because you and your hosts are so busy interrupting and talking over your guests in an attempt to be funny that the guest can’t say what they want to say. Sometimes you are mildly funny but usually you are just annoying. Please let your guests speak!

Chuck and Neil! So great! Your laughter is infectious! Your podcast always makes me happy and, a little more knowledgeable!

I enjoy listening when I have nothing else to do. But frequently I feel like Neil goes off topic and the guest follows along with him rather than go back to the subject

I’ve loved this show for years but simply cannot continue to listen to Neil interrupt every single guest. Just don’t have any guests if you do not want to listen to them.

The host frequently makes jokes that feel out of place and aren't funny, which disrupts the flow of interesting discussions and causes the storyline to lose coherence. At times, when the guest shares genuinely intriguing information, the host attempts to make a humorous punchline, leading to awkward moments. This forced laughter detracts from the overall content. Most likely will not be listening again.

Tyson gives his audience many wrong explanations. For example he tells us the James Webb Space Telescope is parked at the L2 point in earth’s shadow. Or that rocket propellant goes exponentially with payload mass. Or that only carbon burns. Neil really needs to take some time to research his topic before attempting an explainer. He is negligent.

Love the podcast but chuck makes 40% unfunny jokes and you laugh at them and you can tell that some of your laughs are fakes please make good jokes chuck and some of them are good just not all.

It’s my dream to study space and learn more about the universe

Sir, you are a broadcaster on a nationally heard program. Please take the necessary steps to improve the quality of your sound. It sounds like you’re using your kitchen as a studio and that creates too much reverberation. Watch a utube video about how to set up a podcast studio! My gosh do better! Thank you

My son recommended your podcast and I’m so happy he did. I’ll keep listening, learning, and thinking.

But I stopped listening because of the “comic relief” Chuck Nice.

Chuck, please shut up when Neil is explaining something amazing . I rather like Neil doing the show alone since Chuck just disrupts the show with his dry jokes and Neil then will have to fake laugh for those jokes.

It's really nice for me to hear them. very intellectual and constrtuctive analysis about science and around it. I hope I would be a continuous listener of this podcast. Keep going on to make the science much more easier.

Good collaborations and topics and very educational

I love your show and really appreciate how you guys make the topics both relatable and understandable to non-scientists. I would like to ask you to get Maryna Viaskova on an episode.

Wonderful to have an astrophysicist who is also a great entertainer. Neil is reaching people who would likely never be interested in science and that makes him awesome. I'm addicted. I take no issue with the hosts other than Chuck, but Chuck and Neil go so greatl together, I think the show is best without them. They feel like interruptions.

Was great and sooo informative and magical conversations about our universe. Dont bring politics where they dont need to be

Depending on the subject matter, usually a great listen. Getting too deep into politics, sports, religion and climate change for my taste. Please stick to science. Please no more politics.

Love the Neil and Chuck team. I really have hard time to find anything to make me laugh but Chuck totally did the job, found myself laughing with them. Science totally made fun.)

I listen for the science but find myself getting annoyed with all the interruptions and jokes. I wish they would let the guest speak!

Super host Dr. Tyson and MC Chuck, Keep me learning, laughing, and looking up!

Excellent and informative show. Would like to hear a bit more from the guests as they are often interrupted.

Love this show! Some reviewers may have felt a sense of competition between the host and some guests. Well, that’s just comes with the territory, it’s energetic conversation that moves the discussion forward and many time goes beyond the question. Scientists challenge each other all the time, that’s how science progresses.

Neil, please please please let your guest speak. Try to go one minute without interrupting.

Followed by all the episodes around longevity, genetic and space in that order

Neil listening to you has opened up many connections and discoveries myself. Thanks so much for being my world’s smartest person P.s. I have a cool compass connection

The good stuff. Hours and hours of good stuff!

He is an amazing person and has a great podcast that greatly enjoy.

I listen to this and learn so much!

I listen to this every single time I study. It’s amazing.

i edge to this podcast with Livvy Dunne and baby gronk. chuck and his looksmaxxing always ruins my streak tho

fire no cap fan um level 10 gyat skibidi pomni irl 💀🐀🧌🪑🦶

Thanks Neil for being our own personal physicist. I learn something every time I listen.

Deleted review

Terrible

Thanks Neil and Chuck! Love that I can count on this podcast to intellectually stimulate, never disappoints, keeps up the great work y’all.

I used to listen to this show because it was about science and entertainment, not politics. Unite us please … Don’t divide us more.

Every episode is both scientifically enlightening and completely frustrating. Dr Tyson completely ignores non-Western methodology and speaks in superlatives constantly. Thus every episode is filled with words like Always, Never, Can’t, etc while ignoring exceptions or even non-American ways of thinking about it. Latest Example: the Free Will episode spent over 30 minutes never defining Free Will as anything other than the Easter Bunny. NDGT just wanted affirmation of his own biases and his forgettable guest constantly confuses Determinism with Free Will. Later, Quantum Uncertainty is immediately dismissed because there were 20+ orders of magnitude necessary for a Quantum random flux to affect a single molecule while completely ignoring the near-statistical certainty that with as many atoms being involved and outside forces, there would be a Gordian Knot of random quantum dings. Religion, Theology, and anything Woo is mocked relentlessly by NDGT each episode and poor Lord Nice has to play along even though it’s obvious he’s far more spiritual than he lets on, yet NDGTs ego and overtalk nips any useful contribution Chuck could make as being a clown car. It is very much a shame. This used to be my favorite show and Dr Tyson and Chuck Nice are to be lauded for bringing science to the masses in a fun way, but it’s like being a parent and listening to non-parents explain child-rearing. It’s amusing, occasionally very accurate in theory and on paper, but completely ignores the state of flux that exists between observer and observed.

Wow. I’m a little taken back at how rude NDT is to his guests. He constantly talks over them, makes stupid jokes, side tracks the interviews, says and implies inappropriate remarks. His cohost is constantly redirecting and saving the interviews. It’s disrespectful to the guests and an embarrassing reflection of himself.
