Very interesting, but almost un-listenable

What other book might you compare Dr. Joe & What You Didn't Know to and why?
The "Einstein" series by Robert L. Wolke. Very similar in scope, Wolke's books discuss chemistry as it applies to food, the kitchen, various aspects of every day life.
Would you be willing to try another one of Nick Hahn’s performances?
Definitely not. His pronunciation of chemicals and other technical terms is beyond absurd and almost indecipherable at points. Obviously no one bothered to so much as do a Wikipedia search for the pronunciation of things like dichloromethane, much less speak to anyone with a technical background.
