Science podcasts

July 29, 2019 3:06 PM

Can you recommend some science podcasts? Constraints apply.

I like podcasts.

I do not like podcasts where two or more people chat about a topic. I also generally do not like podcasts where a host interviews a guest.

I do like podcasts where someone researches a topic and then explains it to me in great detail. I've found history podcasts like this. Are there good science podcasts like this?

I'll keep the definition of "science" fairly broad, but in general I'm more interested in the "hard" sciences than social science.

Thanks!

The End of the World with Josh Clark hits a lot of hard science topics.
