Interesting and informative

Although it could, at times, have been enhanced with a little more detail, this survey of rapidly developing Exoplanet science is an easy listening experience that remains intelligent, interesting and informative.

Really enjoyed this series

I really enjoyed this series and wish there were more episodes. Would love it if they did a season 2 post James Webb.

Loved it!

Really enjoyable foray into the science of exoplanets. I learned a lot and really appreciated the crisp narration by Danielle George, multiple interviews with experts and philosophical discussions about space exploration. Moves along at a speedy clip and kept me riveted. Well done audible. More like this please!

Inspiring! Beautiful introduction to a fascinating subject.

Professor George does an excellent job of guiding us into all the aspects of searching for new worlds. With a wide cast of experts, she covers the history, the methods, the results AND the future of this effort. Inspiring!

Could have been a lot better

Super-interesting topic. Great participants. However for me all i wanted was to hear way more from the participants.
The narrator came across as overly dreamy and overenthusiastic. Its fine as an introduction but later it gets distracting. Also it seem to be edited as if I’m just browsing through. The “news clips” especially in ep1 and ep2 are too longwinded.

Also to explain what a lightyear is im sorry but thats just way to basic for the audience of this. This was offputting.

Another is the longwinded introduction of names, institution, country city etc. name and insitituon is enough. No need to be so precise. I dont think these participants are so narcissistic. Took away so many minutes.

I would like to hear a longer version just let the participants talk about the topics. Only in the last episode does it seem they are actually sitting together??

Overall seem rushed and way too short. Would have been much better to release this as a podcast interview format with the participants. I want to hear more from them!
