Politically weighted
14 March 2021
This is a generally informative podcast. Unfortunately Neil can't help but slip his politics into what should be an educational and neutral show. I don't think he even tries, it is his goal to improve your political thinking, by any means necessary.

His opinions on high school teaching methods and goals, world governments, corrupt motivations for historical NASA funding are recent examples of content that should not have been in the show at all.

I think that if the co-host Chuck Nice took over, and guest astronomers/related scientists were introduced then Neil could be deleted from this show permanently, with no harm being done. Stick to the facts, please, on the topic I was interested in.

If you are willing to use the 'skip' button frequently, or if you are interested in Neil's political views then this is a podcast for you. I have sadly found it so tiresome that I've had to delete it.
