Soft Machines got a namecheck on the Berkeley Groks science radio show this week (you can download the MP3 here).
I don’t know whether to be more impressed that Soft Machines is so assiduously read by student broadcasters in search of material, or that one of the postdocs in my department is so addicted to obscure science podcasts that he noticed it and told me about it (thanks, Ashley). I’d like to say that they featured an in-depth discussion of some of the most serious issues this blog discusses, but instead, I’m afraid, it was the postscript to this item that caught their eye.
Other good science podcasts that Ashley recommends include the Science show from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, here, and Nature Magazine’s podcast, here.
And what about the bad science podcasts?
