I just wish I could ask Russ questions We’ve turned it into a drinking game as well. Every time one of the guests say, “great question Russ” or some variation of that it’s bottoms up😆

Update: it’s gotten pretty good recently. Waymo autonomous cars, aircraft safety, charging while driving were all interesting and relevant today. And what happened to the bias … did a memo go out? Someone fired the light weight social advocates and replaced them with proper journalists. Nice. The shows are a bit short and light for my taste and one speakers voice sounds like a 15 year old, but the latter is my problem not hers. Anyway, well done wsj. Previous review from a year or so ago. This has to be a separate group from WSJ. Both light weight and biased. The recent Rosetta Stone article talked about how the recent decoding of the entire human genome (filling in the 8% that was missing) was groundbreaking and would change our understanding of diseases. However, the only evidence was essentially the person who did the work saying it was groundbreaking and would change our .... If "felt" like Dr Eichler and his team did a lot of hard work over something that didn't matter all that much and was deparate to make it sound important. Just give me some facts next time and you'll have me. The recent "As we work" episode was embarassing. All about the unfairness of the wage gap to women, minorities, etc. Zero from the studies which showed where, in large part, this comes from. At least for women, it's that they choose or are forced in some way to take the less intense job. So, take the town lawyer job at 30 hours per week vs. the corporate 60 hour a week one. You can argue against what I said, but at least mention that this data is out there. And the host must know about this, or is incompetent. The last thing we need is another NPR podcast. I'm done.

The Tesla Cyber truck episode is just an embedded advert for Tesla.

Interesting article, but big piece left out is who is paying for all this infrastructure. Electrifying roads would be a huge cost and taxpayers, who may not want EVs at all, would be stuck with the cost.

Just the right amount of information and detail. Credible reporting on interesting topics.

Some other reviewers on here have mentioned the excessive vocal fry from some of the reporters. The vocal fry really does make me think I’m listening to a surly 15-year old, not a professional Wall Street Journal reporter or host. Let me also add “up-speak” and excessive use of “like” to the list of annoyances as well…”like, does every, like, sentence, like, have to be like, a question?” If reading that sounds a bit ridiculous, then try listening to it. You can’t. It’s impossible. Nails on a chalkboard.

Excellent extensive investigations in an intelligent, accessible conversational presentation

Light Sceince with a clearly left approach. For instance, the water recycling issue includes a number of positive Gov. Newsom quotes when in fact part of the reason that there is a shortage is because of his policies and not building additional reservoirs.

Great content. Isabelle’s vocal fry makes it unlistenable.

That reporter has a horrific vocal fry that was painful to hear. please keep her off of the air until she learns how to speak properly and pleasantly.

Great way to keep aware of interesting advances in a broad array of subject areas. Do a good job of not overwhelming with technical jargon.

Cloud seeding is an excellent topic for informative discussion. Unfortunately, this guest was entirely underwhelming and the interviewer didn’t really improve the effort. I typically love this podcast but this one left me high and dry. Better luck next time!

Your guest on bio whatever didn’t even know how to explain what she’s doing. Bunch of gobblety goop

Poor journalism.

Ugh, more leftists drivel. Garbage.

Could be better with topic selection and sourcing.

Wonderfully produced. Great topics. High fiving a million angels 🙌

It’s obvious when people care about their podcasts and with this it’s just not there. I get that it’s pretty research heavy, but monthly podcasts are tough to build a listener base.

The episode on police training lost me. Implicit bias is a sham. The result of experiments are not repeatable and don’t hold up to scientific scrutiny. Why is it presented as gospel truth here? There are legitimate concerns about its efficacy and it was presented as an unimpeachable scientific finding along with the implication that there’s a significant proportion of the population who it is making racist and therefore marginalizes a portion of society. This is a despicable and ideologically driven effort to rebrand the Marxist idea of false consciousness and foist it on all society. The Wall Street Journal should be ashamed of itself for this poor quality “reporting” or “content” or “narrative” or whatever you want to call it. Shameful display and it made me question what else I’ve missed in past episodes that I’m not as knowledgeable on to know where I’m being presented ideology instead of reality. To be a bit more concrete in my criticism, the episode spoke on a program that has people play as a black person throughout their life and then talks about how the result of that was having peoples’ minds changed about race and justice, but there is an immense amount of special pleading involved here considering the life story is a narrative written by someone, who by their statements in the episode, it can be assumed has a specific idea of race in America which is taken as reflective of reality when it may not be. That’s special pleading. They’re making the argument contingent on the depiction of reality they present despite there being ample evidence that their depiction is flawed that they choose to ignore. Once again, this is a shameful display by the WSJ and is reflective of how our journalistic class has fallen. Be better.

Wish new episodes were more often

Love this podcast. There is an endless amount of interesting topics that directly apply to me and assist me in my daily life. Truly a blessing .

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. They put out some great content.

Missing Previous Episodes Like Facebook Co-Founder Chris Young Universal Income Which Is Best Of Batch 🤬

The topics covered in this podcast are very timely and important to our shared future. Also, this little gem is a nice way to escape the often negative news that encapsulates us. I would like to hear several episodes that touch upon the state of the art with regard to human rejuvenation. Please keep up the excellent work!

Used to be amazing and I couldn’t get enough of it. Now it’s a bit boring, too many recordings from conferences, and I liked the original host Jennifer Strong SO much better

As with anything produced by WSJ, it is as useful as last years Easter Egg.

Undertones of anti-corporation and anti-tech from Luddite reporters who are uneducated and under qualified. No data, irrelevant guests/company profiles, and plainly false and inaccurate reporting. Full disclosure: I was only able to formulate this opinion as an industry expert in delivery after listening to the latest pod (April 10). Don’t let the name brand full you!

Pathetically excessive use of (like) unnecessary words (you know)makes you loose patience and confidence in the presenters. (Whatever ahh).

This was well-done and mostly unrelated to Rupert Murdoch’s insatiable desire to use his WSJ and media empire to advance his vision crony capitalism and social conservatism

The background music in the podcast makes understanding the content diffecult for us hard of hearing folks which likely account for half of your over 60 audience.

Listened to the show for almost a year- great content that’s always interesting and topical. Great guests and editing. Only issue is 3 times now past episodes I’ve already listened (some from April/May 2018) get auto-re-downloaded. So now unsubscribed and will download individual episodes.

Insightful. Exposes listeners to different cutting edge branches of tech without losing its objectivity. Look forward to (and take notes on) every podcast!

Listened to the 1st few. The equation is perfected! I am in geek paradise with this !

The information in this podcast is excellent, unfortunately the presentation is painfully boring. It feels like I asked Siri to read aloud a chapter of a textbook. I listen, as I’m sure others do, to podcasts with engaging hosts. Please focus more on character than just purely information.

Compared to other WSJ podcasts, this one is diving deeper to discuss interesting topics.

I think WSJ has some of the most interesting and well done material on newsy nonfiction podcasts. This one also picks very progressive out of box ideas and teaches me something new to think about every day. Thanks WSJ keep up the great work!

Fascinating content and great delivery. Check it out, you won’t regret it

As always, WSJ invites hallucinating guest knows little about facts in their imaginary way. Check out the episode with psycho NYU female “Professor” Amy Web? who knows little and full of star-war weed head BS. Loser believes, smart people (sometime being rich) see... lol

Super interesting

My favorite podcast! So interesting!

The One about Smart Guns is Foolish & Naive . Rest of them were great , definitely recommending to friends. Thanks WSJ, for this interesting show Qualcomm needs to stop advertising.They are finished.

Gets at the practical side of science and technology, helps me picture what the ~future~ might actually look like, and thoroughly explains what's going on right now.

Interesting information about the development of technology is presented on this podcast in an engaging fashion.

A variety of everything and cutting edge developments in all kinds of fields. Amazing!

A great way to see what others are doing in the world of Technological advancement and it’s commercial applications in the future.

Love everything WSJ creates from print to broadcast to podcasts. All my kids in college and business are fans as well.

Great podcast

Great addition to the newspaper reading

Then you've come to the right place! I'm always weary about checking out the Apple recommended podcasts because they are typically strewn with political agendas even if it's a podcast about snails. But I read the description of this podcast and hoped that maybe, just maybe, here is a podcast that sticks to its described scientific narrative. I was proven wrong within the first couple of minutes. The people running the podcast cannot stay on task and explain the episode subject in an enticing way, but rather have to rain down on their own parade by drowning their content with political nonsense that is not necessary for their narrative. Avoid!!!

This is a favorite podcast with great information!
