Is there anyone out there?….

Enjoyed this. Nice to hear a good balance of opinions and views from those involved in looking for extra terrestrial life. Fascinating questions and ones we might be able to answer before too long

Very enjoyable

Thank you for this interesting, fun and easy listening. It was animated enough to keep me interested but kind enough to the ears to fall asleep to if that's what you need. A perfect combination

Enjoyable and worth a listen

This was very worthwhile, it provides a balanced, if a little hopeful, viewpoint. I like the engagement of experts from various fields, but i felt that at times it became a little repetitive. all in in worth listening to, but don't expect it to be too high level.

A thorough, but basic, discussion on the topic

Suitable for people with no prior knowledge of the topic and teens, this series is well researched and presented with input from a diverse range of experts. Very practical and factual, without any hyperbole, compared to many podcasts about aliens it can feel a little dull. If you have any prior knowledge on the topic it is likely you will already know much of the content.
