The goal of this podcast is to interview the top researchers in their respective fields and get right to the soruce of ‘where we are at’ in terms of that particular topic. We also plan to do quick interviews with authors of some of the more recent science publications to get the low-down on their study and where it fits into the big picture in that field. We will also be discussing anything that is topical at the time and also plan to interview practitioners who use Science as their ‘guiding light’ and how they find the right mix of art and science when it relates to physical preparation.

There has been many podcats that have been the inspiration for this production. Scientific American’s Science Talk, The Health Report and The Strength Power Hour were amongst the best three, but along with a host of others, we’ve taken the best elements of each to hopefully produce a free resource that is both educational and entertaining. Some of our other favourites that have been influential include The Skeptics Guide to the Universe, Point of Inquiry and The Performance Nutrition Show (click on any of the names to be taken to their homepages).

The plan is to not just get all of my friends on, advetisers nor people who just agree with our way of thinking. We’ll be asking the tough questions and playing devil’s advocate as often as possible – in short to be like REAL journalists (should be) reporting science.
