    Great questions and commentary
    First-time listener. I thought the questions asked were insightful and the commentary at the end interesting. Plus, the guests are high-profile. Thank you!

    Pleasant Microbio Lite
    I enjoy this for interesting overviews of topics outside my discipline. My research is biomedical but has very little to do with microbio so this is a nice way to hear about interesting things in the field.
  • mkcheshire
    Love the podcast
    Julie Wolf does an excellent job hosting the show. Very knowledgable. Mike in Oregon

    Great podcast
    This is a great source of information. There is no annoying chatter or talk about the weather where they are located. It’s a basic interview format that give the audience a concise amount of information by asking perfect questions.

    Nice microbiology show!
    Herein the host interviews a different microbiology-related scientist each week and asks questions about the scientist's research, interests, and opinions. Pretty good, and maybe one of the best microbiology podcasts out there.
