I'll have to give this a shot. I am a scientist and have never found a good science podcast ever. I think its because the topic doesn't lend itself as well to the format; papers are hard to digest and communicate in an entertaining way.

A micro recommendation for This Week in Virology (TWiV). Essentially a journal club for virology papers, I think they nail the conversational/technical balance that’s so hard to get right.

Incidentally, TWiV changed my life. I was working as a cabinet maker with no college degree when I gave it a shot, on a whim. The host’s refusal to shy away from technical depth convinced me that I could learn hard things. 10 years I have a biochemistry degree and work as a machine learning engineer.

That's great! I'll have to give them a shot again - for some reason, I bounced off this show
