Review by jerryatrick (date: 30-Jul-2007)
Subject: TWIS
Comment: I've learned lots of sciency schtuff from listening to this podcast. Now, twice a week! The most important thing that I have learned is that we need to be nice to our robot overlords so that we can secure the good human jobs when world robot domination begins. Next to Car Talk, it's my favourite all-time podcast. Jerry Atrick, http://www.schwagcast.com
