    Can you continue
    Cant you continue the series

    Love the show - Hate the FEED
    The Podcast FEED is FLAWED and frequently deluges you off and on with a half dozen or more 2 or 3 year old shows. I so frequently found myself CLEANING up after the pod that I removed all Scientific American podcast subscriptions, due to their OBVIOUS incompentance.
  • YGlen
    Great Content!
    Only wish it was longer than 60-seconds.
  • SamIIs
    Smart & fast
    Quick smart blurb. Definitely worth adding to your queue.
  • anyblock
    Interesting bites of information
    This podcast provides interesting bites of information. I wish it were not two volume clicks louder than all other podcasts.
  • William A. Blake
    Please Stop the "Vocal Fry" John Madsen

    Download broken
    I have been getting 8006 errors while trying to download any of the 60-whatever podcasts for the past couple weeks. Can this be fixed?
  • darknater
    Downloads fail
    All the 60 second podcasts fail to download.
  • ThisNicknameIsTakenIRRITATING
    Loved It, But It Won't Download
    None of the 60 Second casts will download.
  • TimeLock
    Screw that, patronize me!
    I think that it's great to receive cool little bits of science that can be be enjoyed by anyone no matter what their attention span or level of education. Having said that, I would love a link or some other podcast to hear an expanded and deeper version of these stories. Those Fermi Bubbles sound very interesting.
  • wildwyoming
    Fun
    Fun, tasty tid bits of stuff I might never hear anywhere else.
  • PortlandOR
    Could be from the 70s
    Is this podcast for third-graders? Don't patronize me.
  • Quest0106
    Very Nice
    Thought provoking minute.
