science podcast

Research discussion show

A science podcast is an audio program, typically episodic, that explores scientific topics for a general audience.

The format ranges from interviews with researchers to narrative investigations of discoveries to casual discussions of studies in the news.

I listen to science podcasts on my commute.

The genre has become a primary way many adults engage with scientific ideas outside formal education.
