This past Sunday, upon my return from a much needed vacation, I found that I had received several communications wondering if TWIS was cancelled. Not understanding where the rumor had started, and a bit confused from my recent sun, surf, and sand infusion, I investigated.
It turns out the rumors are both true and untrue, as rumors will tend to be.
The rumors were probably ignited when the TWIS.org website went down sometime within the past two weeks. I wasn’t aware of the problem until my return, and fixed it as soon as I was able. For those interested, something triggered Apache service on the server to shut off. Simple problem, but a pain since I wasn’t around to fix it.
Then, rumblings began about a week ago about Leo saying that TWIS was cancelled. I spoke with Lisa Kentzell, CEO of TWiT.tv, today about the topic, and was informed that TWiT is restructuring. Part of the restructuring involves no longer supporting 3rd party shows, of which TWIS is one. As many of you already know, TWIS is my program, and actually predates TWiT by several years. Technically, TWiT cannot cancel TWIS. They can, however, remove it from their schedule… which they have done.
So, what does this news mean for TWIS and all of you minions? The answer is that I don’t really know yet. I am considering options for continuing to broadcast TWIS on my own. Google+ offers a possible platform through which TWIS might easily and seamlessly continue. Alternatively, I might consider other platforms like Justin.tv and UStream.tv. I have Wirecast and can use it. We might think about moving to another network. Or, there is always the possibility that this signals the end for TWIS.
I have made no decisions yet, and would love your feedback and advice. TWIS is nothing without you! Whatever we do, I want it to be the best decision for the entire community.
For the time being, TWIS will continue to air on TWiT.tv on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm PT. We will probably do our last show on the TWiT network within the month of July. You will be kept in the loop, so expect to hear more from me here and on all the social networks where we have a presence.
TWiT has been an amazing home for TWIS over the past couple of years. The entire team at TWiT has been supportive and helpful in ways that can’t ever be quantified or, for that matter, paid back properly. I want to thank Leo for giving us a place in TWiT.tv’s lineup for so long, and everyone else for the hours of work that went in to making the show happen (especially our trainee engineers ;). From the bottom of my heart, I wish the very best to TWiT.

I'm the host of this little science show. 
Man, I had a bad feeling when I started to hear about this “restructuring” stuff. I find it hard to believe that twit is losing money, or absolutely NEEDS to cut shows, but whatever.
I really, REALLY hope you guys keep doing TWIS! It’s a great source of science news and commentary, and I’d hate to see it disappear after going on for so long.
You guys could always go a bit low-tech and do the production bits yourselves and upload to youtube. Lots of people do 2-person skype calls that they make into YT vids.
I hope you find a way to continue, you’re show is awesome.
Im so upset i can hardly express… Arrg! there we go. I would like to offer any assistance I can, I am a Network Administrator, Programmer, and amateur producer (inspired by your podcast).
In addition I am a very efficient researcher and can find you information on any topic you request of me. Please don’t hesitate to ask, it would be my Honor to help your show.

Talk to the guys at 5by5. They put out some great stuff
TWiT’s CEO may call this move ‘restructuring,’ but Leo made it pretty clear on the live stream that the 3rd-party shows would no longer be broadcast on the network because they were underperforming. Since I discovered TWIS through the TWiT network, it is sad to hear that the audience is not large enough for the show to stay on TWiT. But, the heart of the show is not the professional switching or the fancy set. The heart of the show are the content, and, of course, you, Dr. Kiki. So, if you decide to continue with the show, in whichever format/content delivery system you choose, I, and I suspect many others, will be here to watch/listen. We may be a small audience, but we are a passionate one!
It’s a bit wrong to criticize but it would have been much nicer to hear it for yourself BEFORE we did.
We will follow you and TWIS wherever you broadcast. Just broadcast!
We need you to broadcast. We have raised our kids to enjoy science. And its your podcasts and shows which encourage us parents to keep introducing new topics for scientific discussions.
TWIS is such a fun program. There are no twit fun programs that are live at night. They are missing the night niche. I can’t watch live during the day except for weekends. I will watch TWIS wherever it is streamed. TWIS is unique programming.
That’s too bad, TWIS was the only show I ever listened to on the TWIT network. I hope it finds a new home even if it is on ustream or vimeo as an independent show. Best science podcast ever. Minion for life!
Whatever your decision I will back you. I very much prefer you to keep the show going and I for one will follow and watch/listen wherever you may go. I do not know what the best platform may be to move to but iTune, Google+, and Justin TV are all excellent mediums to use.
Are you guys still on KDVS? If not, could you possibly return there?
I will continue to listen to, hopefully watch, and support TWIS, on whatever platform it’s on. Lowtech or high tech doesn’t make any difference to me. I know your science chat is on G+ on Friday afternoon, which I haven’t been able to make. Perhaps an G+ afternoon/night video/audio chat, at whatever time is most convenient for you, to agument, or serve as, your KDVS broadcast.
I am greatful to you for rekindling my interest in science. I will remain a minion whatever the future holds for TWIS.
As a biochemistry grad student, I don’t have time to keep up with other areas of science. What I can do is listen to TWiS and DrKiki’s Science Podcast while I’m at the bench. Find a way to continue, please. I remember watching the videos of their “wonderful new studios” with my husband. We both questioned not only the need for such an expensive setup but the consequences of spending that much money in a period of economic depression. I will personally do whatever I can to help TWiS continue.
PLEASE keep TWIS going! Any help you need please send an email. Whether it’s work or financial to keep it going.
Hello Dr. Kiki,
I don’t know how much it matters, but I do want to tell you that I love your shows and would love to see them survive these rough waters. I listen to your shows often in an offline setting (iTunes). I am not sure how much the TWiT decision impacts you financially or technologically but I wish you the very best in saving the show.
@John, from what I’ve gathered this isn’t about TWiT loosing money. Leo and Lisa have been wanting to restructure the schedule for quite some time. And I agree. I’ve always felt there should have been a more structured programming available. For example I would have scheduled TWIS, Science Hour and Futures in Biotech on the same day. TWiT Photo and Trey’s Variety hour on another day. Radio Tech, TWiCH, Ham Nation on yet another one and so on.
@Dr. Kiki I’m very sorry to hear about TWiS being removed from the line up. I have a question that I hope doesn’t cross any lines. Has the possibility ever come up of you actually having Leo take ownership of TWiS and having it officially become a TWiT product? Science Hour and Science Chat could then be your side projects.
To answer your question though I vote going the Google+ route. Trey’s Variety Hour uses the Google+ Hangout and it gets pushed out to Youtube for even larger audience. I think TWiS would work very well with that option.
Hoping you find another local. I heart TWIS. Have been watching live, but more than happy to download from whatever new home you find.
I really hope you all can keep this thing going! I’ve been listening for a while via podcast and love it!
Please let us know what we the listeners can do to help.
Let’s get them some donations in people!
I really hope to see the show continue. My $0.02… any of those platforms are good, so long as you record the show and still release as a podcast.
Also, will DKSH and Science News Weekly be continuing?
Oh and I hope you and your family had a great vacation!
I can’t believe twit.tv is removing your show, I thought they had just altered the schedule.
Leo should at least advise how to help you keep running if you want to, will you keep the sponsor?
I prefer the ustream feed to watch live over Justin tv. Or will you go to podcast only And everyone find you again in iTunes. Good luck with keeping things running. Not news you want to come back from a vacation and find out.
Glad I read your tweet now.
Last thing I heard from Leo On-Air was that they wanted to make TWIS an official TWiT Podcast… I guess things can change fast, or maybe it just didn’t work out as planned. Whatever the reason, I wouldn’t want to miss my weekly dose of science news 🙁
Or even just go back to only audio if that makes it easier on you guys. I’m a mostly audio listener at this point, and hope TWIS doesn’t go away. I find it an incredible resource to keeps me pretty up to date.
Here’s to hoping for a long future for TWIS.
Maybe Leo will start looking for less derivative programming and restore TWIS. I hope you find a great forum to continue your fantastically original science show. On a selfish note, YouTube would be a great choice for people who stream science shows to their televisions via media centers. Dr. Nels Lindahl
Please continue with your broadcast if only as a podcast. (I listen to the audio only so it wouldn’t bother me any if it was only radio.) The show means a great deal to me! I am a librarian at an elementary school that has now earned the reputation as “knowing cool stuff about science” and I could not have done that without you. I listen to your podcast as I shelve books then share what I learn with my kids. I have seen a dramatic increase in the kid’s interest in sciency things since I started sharing info with them. They all want to know what Mrs. Ferguson has learned. Please, please if not for me think of the kids! :0)
This is terrible news! With what might I fill my head, if not a weekly dose of science? Keep up the great work — we’ll follow you wherever you end up.
I’ve heard of this company called Squarespace, they do great webhosting. When I signed up with them I used the coupon “drkiki” (without quotes) and saved some money. Highly recommended. 😀
I noticed that the option of going to KDVS every tuesday morning and doing it live in studio again wasn’t listed in the options. Guess Justin’s shins will be safe a little longer.
As for TWIT not having enough income, when a company burns through $1000+/hour they need to have some hefty income to cover those expenses.
Oh, no way. Worst news I’ve had all week.
I’ve been listening to TWIS for so many years, since it was on KDVS on Tuesday mornings at 8:30 — before podcasting! And now it’s my favorite podcast (and I listen to about a dozen). Please don’t stop now!
You could totally do it as an audio-only podcast at next to no cost, right?
Please don’t stop doing TWIS!
I consume TWIS as a podcast, and would not miss the video stream, or even live broadcast.
I will continue to listen to, hopefully watch, and support TWIS, on whatever platform it’s on. Lowtech or high tech doesn’t make any difference to me. I know your science chat is on G+ on Friday afternoon, which I haven’t been able to make. Perhaps an G+ afternoon/night video/audio chat, at whatever time is most convenient for you, to agument, or serve as, your KDVS broadcast.
I am greatful to you for rekindling my interest in science. I will remain a minion whatever the future holds for TWIS.
Jeremy Faulkner beat me to it. When you guys were in the studio together I always enjoyed trying to work out exactly when Justin received a set of Hush Puppies in the shins. And don’t be afraid about having a minion call to arms to raise support for you two wherever you head next.
You could probably save a lot of expense by not doing video at all. I listen to these shows on my MP3 player and do not feel I am missing anything. HD video of talking heads is still awfully boring television, but can make great radio when the topic is interesting (as yours always are)
This is not true for a photography show, and some product demos, but otherwise I think Leo spent an awful lot of money on facilities for shows that work just fine as radio.
Make a kickstarter project for TWIS. Set a donation target goal to keep the show going. You’ll get it.
I found your show with Justin via your DKSH show on Twit and really liked it, more than DKSH actually. You and Justine play off each other nicely and always bring the knowledge and the fun sci factoids. Its an amazing show and I hope you can find a way to do it IF you are still enjoying and want to. And audio is fine… video is a nice version of it, but if audio is all you guys can do, do that! 🙂
Thanks for many years of sci, and Good Luck in your next chapters!
I have never viewed a twis episode but have been listening in podcast form for sometime. I never felt the need for the video. A simple audio podcast would do the trick. Less to edit with all of the disclaimer still intact.
I started listening to TWIS in the early 00’s, when there weren’t any podcasts to speak of. I had a Japanese colleague who had rigged up his computer to automatically record from KDVS’s live stream! When TWIT took on TWIS as a show, I was nervous about what would happen to my favorite show. But I had become a TWIT listener so I was optimistic that Laporte and gang would be good for TWIS in the long run, bringing experience and knowledge of old media.
This news took me completely by surprise. I understand business is business but I also feel, business-wise, TWIS was the one taking the risk as a successful show associating itself with a network that could drop it at any time but, less obviously, diluting the TWIS name by getting on a newer network with a similar name. (That dilution showed as newer listeners in the chat room were often under the impression that TWIS was a TWIT show and expecting the same format, sometimes even insulting the show: “When did TWIT start this stuff?”) I hope the association has been beneficial for TWIS. In the end, TWIS can continue without those twits.
This became an unintended rant about TWIT; The bottom line is: I remain a faithful minion and will support he show in whatever format until WORLD ROBOT DOMINATION!
I sincerely hope you find an alternative way to keep this going. I hate the thought of it going away for good. 🙁
I thinks Twis is a great, fun and informative show! I mostly listen to the podcast, but I certainly hope you can find a way to keep it going.
Actually, I would never have heard about the TWIT network without TWIS. Part of the so-called underperformance on TWIT might be the fixed time. Like many long-term listeners, I’m not in a timezone where live-watching is very appealing. I’ve been a podcast follower for years, and am actually hoping for more science compilation CDs to buy for support (although the fixed intro-outro kinda bites in the selection for that lately).
P.S. Are you taking the bricks with you? 🙂
I’m with the others that have mentioned going back to audio-downloads only to save time, effort, and expense. Personally, the audio has always had what i needed, and I can never manage to just sit and listen/watch “live” at a prescribed time, so downloading the audio to listen to later while working has always been my preference.
I’m ALSO with the others who would be sad if TWIS disappeared entirely, so I hope you can keep it going!
I’ve been enjoying TWiS long before it was pulled in to TWiT, and I hope long after it has left. I think going back to KDVS would be a great idea (oh how I miss Justin’s GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING KIRSTEN!” opening).
Please keep it alive if you can.
I’ve been an active listener and watcher of both TWIT and TWiS since at east 2005. Of course your show and you are so unique.
One can not help but to root for Leo and his network, but I am beginning to fear that the same cost pressures that doomed Tech TV will also become the anvil around TWIT.tv’s neck as well. I believe that either Leo or Lisa stated that it cost $1,000 an hour to produce a TWIT show and that is not including the ‘talent’ and I would guess – I don’t know this – that it is with 1099 employees.
Three years ago, It is hard to believe that $1,000 an hour production cost would be considered expensive, but I guess with the changes in technology and advertising and a very special nich audience that this is true.
I can’t help but think that Google+ Hangouts with its syndication to YouTube is ‘part’ of the way to the future. I am not sure that all the pieces are there yet but it seems like another podcast revaluation is upon us.
Again Dr. Kiki, if you require any help in the future with this transition do not be hesitant to ask myself or your many fans
Why don’ t you make a proposition to Yahoo . They could give you a chance or a regional tv station? You could do Live YouTube . YouTube chooses some people to broadcast LIVE . There is an laternative site called BlogTV http://www.blogtv.com
I don’t know your numbers, so it’s difficult to provide reasoned feedback. I also don’t know what your ambition is for TWIS, so it’s difficult to weigh the available options.
My ad hoc reaction: 1) choose a near-term format that limits labor and expense, 2) network with other science/skeptic podcasts to grow the audience, 3) revise the website to make it more timely, accessible, and easy to maintain.
Some options: Become your own brand by supporting other science podcasters under the TWIS domain (a great way to encourage young talent). Create a 15m stand-alone segment (similar to “Dr. Kiki’s Science News”) that educators can use in a classroom setting and other podcasts could “syndicate.” Pitch YouTube on becoming a sponsored content provider (5by5 was also a good suggestion). There are endless potential strategies – the question is where do YOU want it to go?
I eagerly followed TWIS before it was on TWiT, and will to continue do so, whatever form it takes. You guys are terrific and have much bigger, brighter days ahead.
It’s not personal Its just business , right?…. Mr Laporte is laying down the law saying that any show that doesn’t make money is going by-by… But that is not true, is it?… Anyway that’s neither here nor there. When your the big cheese you can do as you please…($$$)… I hope the show continues in some form… In any case, thank you so much… For showing us how science can enrich our lives and inspire us to not think about gadgets all the time… 😉
Dismay!!! Dismay!!! Dismay!!!
If you cut the show I’ll drink a whole bottle of homoeopathic remedy – On your heads be it! ;)))
Perhaps A.FM Radio can offer you a home, although that would just be audio it’s better than nothing. And then there’s always Google+ Hangouts which Fraser Cain is using very successfully and it’s convenient for guests to join in.
I really hope you, Justin and Blair decide to keep this fun, informal in informative show going.
TWiS is the only show on the internet and even considering all shows on TV that I would ever need to watch live every week. It’s the best, and it’s great to watch discussion on science like that, because all of my irl friends are dummies who don’t care about science.
Please continue these video podcasts w/ a chatroom forever. It keeps me sane.
I think Google+ hangout would be an excellent place for TWiS. I Hope it continues.
I truly hope you work it out.
One man’s opinion:
Try audio only for now or just a simple short topic lecture into a webcam.
Put some test files out there for us to consume and see if income can beat expenses.
Things on wishlist: (just throwing ideas)
Science howtos….like howto solar, howto generate electricity…yada yada.
Projects o’ da week… News of course.
Many new markets to develop.
Turn it into an opportunity to try new things.
You are good at this and should keep going.
Pep talk concludes here.

Unfortunately, shows under the TWIT umbrella also have to pay for their massive staff and facilities. Leo’s advertising rates start at a high threshold (for a podcast), and he doesn’t seem inclined to advertise TWITs shows outside of TWIT let alone on other TWIT shows. Judging by an impromptu “State of TWIT” talk he did on the air (available at Justin.tv), he’s also very steadfast in his approach to the governance of TWIT going forward, in other words, he’s not changing any time soon.
Please, please, please, don’t go!
Pleasec don’t let it stop you from making TWIS I’ve been listening on podcast since way before TWIT and want to listen to TWIS every week for the rest of my life. It’s my aall-time fave podcast and has been for years now. Whatever you do, hi-fi or lo-fi, video or no video, live or recorded, I’ll be eagerly checking for new episodes every week from day 4-5 on… Video was nice for a while, I very much enjoyed watching the few times I was up early enough in my timezone to watch (thanx for the anouncements on Facebook leading me there in time!), but it is not at all a nessecary feature. It always has been and still is primarily a radio-show. An incredible radioshow that few networks would have the courage to spend an hout of their buisy bizzy schedules on,so viva los podcastos! If there would be any chance of you and Justin getting back together in one studio for recording it would be da bomb, I’ve found from the separation on it has lost a bit in its direct interaction, although after a few episodes adjusting you got back to almost the same togetherness, the communication between you’s two was best when you could still kick him in the shins… Justin got caught once after the lifebroadcast for over an hour just talking away being questioned by the chatboard and the engineers. His stories about his first years at TWIS and how he got the job were utterly enjoyable!
Anyway. I could go on and on and on, but it all comes down to: I LOVE you guys, TWIS is YOU and JUSTIN (and have I mentioned Blair’s a treasure? I HOPE you can keep her around as well, please!), and no media- station- or whatever change can bring that down.
I want my TWIS. I dearly hope you want it too.
No!!!
This can’t happen!
I only discovered you guys a week ago (due to finally finding a podcast app on my Blackberry that works in the UK, and browsing around and finding you!)
My app downloaded the last 6 months+ of casts and I am slowly working my way though them (8 down 25 to go….)
Loving the show!
Thought from me….
Really echoing some of those above… maybe go audio only/Podcasts only? (being in the UK I’m asleep when you guys stream live – and I don’t have any figures but I’d imagine only a third (max) of you audience is able to watch the live stream????)
Really hope you find a way to continue… loving the show, such a good round up of sciencey news that’s not just the popular headline grabbing sensationalist stories that hit the media!
Spreading the word amongst friends and colleagues over hear,
A
Wow! Bad news! I hope you guys can keep the show running. I will say that I’ve never heard of TWiT, I catch the show after the fact via Itunes, so obviously, that’s a viable channel to keep the show going!
I am sorry to hear about your problems. Do you still have the radio show in Davis? If you do you can post a podcast of the show. If you do please post it immediaely after you do it.Otherwise it becomes outdated. Best of wishes. Stan
Please find a solution. It can’t happen like that – we need the show.
Please, please find another provider! I so appreciate the show – it is amazing.
Oh no! TWiS is one of my favorite podcasts and my wife and I have been listening to you for years! We never watched the videos but it’s been a weekly treat to catch up with the podcast via iTunes over the weekend. Hoping you can continue in audio – I love the format and the show is a real highlight of the week. Donating in hopes you will continue!
I have been an avid listener for years, and love the relationship you have with Justin.You are a hell of a team. Please continue!
Hi Kiki, Justin and Blair,
I first started to watch on TWIT, and will continue to watch when you go elsewhere. I think that going to another network is a bad idea, you could end up in the same situation.
I also believe that charging is a sure way to kill the show. I have seen it tried to many times and almost all of the shows died or nearly died. This is even more so now that so many people are just barely making it if they even are making it, with the economy the way it is.
The Google hang out is not a bad idea. I usually watch live, and will continue to do so, if it continues to be at night here on the east coast. If you put it out on Ustream or Justin I will watch. I am not sure of any other choices, but I will try them!
I hope to find out what you are doing soon! Good Luck and Good Science.
Hi,
Dr. Kiki, I think the show should continue. It is not impossible to run it through Ustream or any service that you may have mentioned that can stream video. The chat element is something that is easily resolved, although, since this show predates TWiT, I do not know if you already have the solution: irc on freenode and starting a TWiS channel. If the need for moderators is needed an APB can be sent out. I do like the live element, and hope that can remain. Either which way, I will continue to be part of the audience.
Its thanks to twit that i was about to discover twis so i would be rather sad if you stopped doing the show as its really my only source of Science News in English lol plus it always helps to have you explain some of the larger terms
What ever form you pick for the future of This Week in Science be it on Ustream JTV and if need be Google+
Oh, by Newton’s apple, don’t stop!
Please don’t stop!
I only listen to the podcast, being far from my native San Diego, but I know the radio show aspect is important to you and Justin.
Do what you can, do what you must, but please stay on the air… Remember, it’s the only way to hear your show from off planet!
-Brad
I’d like to see this show continue, I wasn’t aware that TWiS depended on TWiT and so I thought only Dr. Kiki Science Hour was cancelled. I greatly appreciate the work you’ve done on both shows and it would be great to have TWIS up and running again.
“Best of luck and good science to you”
Dr Kirsten Sanford
Thank you for the Week in Science – You would be very surprised to find that the BBC in the UK has cut its Science output in the last six months – Radio wise
It’s great to listen to an informed conversation between two or more? scientists that’s not dumbed down to make it accessible – If possible, can we have one last TWIS re the Higgs Boson – That would be a gem of a show
Thank you for all your work in popularising Science from the inside out.
Mike in Cambridge.
Kirsten,
I love this show. Please don’t be discouraged. You and Justin are a great pair. Stick with that.
Scott S
Please, I need your show! I am a Biology teacher at an University and I have some of my students listen to your programs as fun assignments (especially my non-majors). There needs to programs like yours. I listen through my iTunes. I need real science in a FUN format. You make my day!

I have been following your shows via TWIT.tv. I hope very much that you will continue in an accessible format.
I find Dr. Kiki to be a great presenter and her shows fill a much need void.
As a consumer, I would appreciate an expanded version of TWIS. I realize that this is a lot of work to prepare.
As far as “Science Hour” is concerned. Perhaps 60 minutes is a bit longer than the attention span of many. Writing for myself, I would like more structured presentations from your guests rather than the interview format.
I have not seen the audience numbers for your shows, however, the commercial reality is that a certain critical mass is necessary for them to be supported by entities like TWIT. Some of the platforms like USTREAM seem to inject ads at random intervals which I find wrecks the viewing experience.
I would prefer the option of a pay per view portal.
I love this show, been listening since I was a grad student in Biology. I’m in Canada and I’ve only ever listened to the podcasts, so as long as you keep putting those out, I’ll keep listening and loving!
I listen to a LOT of sci. streams, and TWIS is my ONE MUST-HAVE. When I switch platforms, your show is ALWAYS the first I seek out and subscribe to. Can’t count the number of amazing research projects/articles I’ve heard about on this show first! You guys always keep me up to date!
Hope this all works out for you.
Your show is great! I listen at work every week there’s an episode. I hope that you find a way to continue your good work. Or, asking all of us, pleading if necessary, to help in any way we can to support the show and keep things going. I’m certain that this awesome show will continue (one way or another)… Thanks for the work so far!
Cheers!

Although saddened by the news that TWiT would no longer carry TWiS, I understand their business decision. This being said, I am ready to pay to be able to continue viewing TWiS. Now my demographics are probably outside of the Bell curve for this show, I do appreciate the way you and your team present science.It’s a change to the often sterile atmosphere surrounding science 😉
A great show. One that will not be replicated on the big tv network. Carl Sagan would be proud of you guys.
Don’t you dare give up now. See this as the opportunity it is as become more resiliant. Whatever happens it was great. Now make it even greater.

Hello Kirsten and Justin and the rest of staff including the baby. I love your shows and at work I listen to them every week. I loved the hour of science, and I especally love Justin’s music. I wanted to hear more about bubbles, but everything you talk about is relevant and interesting, so keep up the good work and let us know when you can be on the air more often. I get you through an apple app from the itune store. I am a 70 year old custodian and need something to think about besides my old body and the exercise it is getting each night. I have been a Science Science Fiction fan for years and it is nice to get the science in a way I understand it without the time of a story. Thank-you
But your shows are so awesome! Please don’t let this happen, guys. Isn’t there something that we, as your fans, can do?
Don’t give up, guys! If you make it over this, you’ll shine more than ever!
I agree that your shows are awesome.please make sure they will continue.thanks you!a big fan
Yes,we can do something.We can pray that the shows will broadcast forever,because they are fabulous.Keep us posted please!
If you guys stop I will no longer seem interesting to strangers. “Did you know?”
Piggy back with Star talk, you just gotta be ready for Neil!
Please don’t let this happen!Your shows are extraordinary!Please keep us posted!Thanks!
dont do it…. the best show ever. I love the way you guys react together and the current topics are always interesting, and an inspiration to many young minds over the glode.

Definitely getting worried here – no podcasts on iTunes since February. I’ve heard of Spring Break but this 6 week hiatus may be taking it a bit too far. Please don’t stop, you are the best, and also the wackiest.
There’s several busy people working at it. Meanwhile show your support, donate or buy something from Zazzle.
It’s sad your TV show Kiki cancellation. Maybe g+ hangout will be usefull for your mission.
Greeting for both of You especially for Pipi sorry for Kiki 🙂 <3
I just donated $25 in hopes to keep the show going. Keep up the science!!!!!! This podcast is the very one that put me down the road in helping promoting science in general.
How about talking to Dan Benjamin at 5by5
