The Science Enthusiast Podcast! Just the right amount of not-a-science-podcast! It’s not the worst, but thank you for listening (and we’re sorry?)!

Hosts: Natalie Newell (Skeptical Parenting) and Dan Broadbent (A Science Enthusiast)!

Check out the live YouTube videos of the show:http://youtu.be/KUlNp86iegc & http://youtu.be/1KzTFfCQwZ

Sponsor: Tucker Carlson, for when you need a fake news pundit who will yell at Bill Nye, and has a chin that just gives up halfway and turns into a neck.

(You can also support the show at no cost to you by shopping here on Amazon!)

God of the week: St. Drogo! Patron of coffee houses, unattractive people, midwives, mute persons, and cattle. (I don’t really see much of a relationship between these things)

Interview: We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Kevin Folta back to the show. Dr. Folta is a professor and chairman of the horticultural sciences department at the University of Florida, an active science communicator, and former punk rocker (seriously, listen to episode 015 of this show).

Next week: Next week we’ll (FOR REAL THIS TIME) be back with our favorite non-ginger-haired Nerd, Myles Power, who came to the show armed with some favorite swears (and whole bunch of interesting stuff to talk about).
