So it's not just a bunch of podcasts that say, "Nope. No aliens yet."
No, it's good, they cover lots of stuff. If you don't like bad puns you'll want to avoid it though. Phil Plait is a recurring guest on the Sunday shows.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh, and just so you know, when Buffistas tell me how awesome I am, that doesn't bug me....
