Science and the Sea
Category: Natural Sciences
Host Holly Braly takes listeners into a deeper understanding of our oceans each week. This show is well written, educational, and interesting, no doubt because it comes from the University of Texas Marine Science Institute. Each episode is two to three minutes in length and has soft music playing in the background. The soft ambient music and Holly’s tone has the feel of a prerecorded audio bite heard at a museum or aquarium exhibit. Listeners interested in the niche subject will enjoy the weekly narrations. Science and the Sea will appeal to those with short commutes and can be used as an additional educational tool in the classroom. However, we believe listeners seeking more detailed content will skip this show for something longer.

The Force Cast
Category: TV & Film
The Force Cast is the official podcast of theforce.net. This, of course, is a site totally dedicated to Star Wars. Each episode is recorded live on Wednesdays, and live chat sessions are available during the recording so listeners can participate. Hosts Jason and Pete are enthusiastic fans without being “cultish.” They do a great job keeping this show entertaining despite its insanely long length (about 2 hours per episode). Jason and Pete are highly collaborative with countless behind-the-scenes enthusiast who research information about art, trivia, interviews, and fan film creators. Listeners are updated on everything from cast members’ birthdays to the latest news about feature films and upcoming shows, festivals, and conventions. Guests who have had a part in the making of one or more of the Star Wars movies are frequently interviewed as well. This podcast is professionally done and moves quickly. Impressive, most impressive.

The NotHans Podcast
Category: Comedy
Comedian Hans Scharler hosts this completely not-serious show. The humor is like that found in The Onion, America’s fake news source. Hans finds comedy in most topics including movies, politics, sports. Each episode is no more than five minutes, and we would actually like to see the episodes lengthened. The NotHans Podcast is full of of vocal variations and tone inflections demonstrating Hans vocal diversity. Music and sound-effects add to the show’s comedic effect. Hans Scharler is wetting some appetites but still gives the impression that he is unsure of the show’s direction. Currently, The NotHans Podcast is flapping in the wind. With more episodes, we hope Hans Scharler grows more focused on what The NotHans Podcast is really meant to be.
