Big Picture Science

Astronomer Seth Shostak and journalist Molly Bentley host a science show that manages to be smart without disappearing up its own academic backside. Topics range wildly – cosmology one week, human psychology the next, climate science after that. They bring on working scientists who can explain their work to normal people, and there's enough humor woven in to keep things from getting dry. Seth's SETI connection means space and alien life topics get special attention, obviously. Good science communication for curious adults who don't have PhDs. Consistently enjoyable.
