    Really good podcast I just find it to get boring if you listen for to long

    a bit sad, dont do my mistake!
    so, story time, some of the older episodes weren’t working (I have premium) we tried everything, my mom said to delete and reinstall the app, I said no, worried the premium won’t work, and she said it would. She ended up taking my device and doing it without my permission, and now the premium no longer functions and we are unable to get it back, as the website is down. This is because a very specific USA president cut almost all the funding for public media. This is also why they are taking a break from episodes. I’m very upset but not mad about the podcast.

    I like this podcast.
    Hi brains on! My name is Momo I live in Hiroshima, Japan and I love your podcast!. I like reading and learning about science and I think this podcast is a fun way of doing it! I suggest maybe making an episode about if animals dream. Because I have two pet parrotlets and one time when I was covering them (you cover a pet bird at night so it gets dark and they fall asleep) I said 「sweet Dreams」 but then I realized that birds might not dream so I was wondering do animals dream?

    Not sure what they are trying to do
    They have a topic. Then you start to listen and play the episode and they talk about the actual topic for 5min and then it’s just a bunch of nonsense. So odd. Pass.
