I agree with systemtrash that stemcell topic is a little over-covered recently, especially with the recent turns of events in Korea. But it's still interesting and podcasts like The World is actually doing a wonderful job covering it without boring you to tears.
I found it uninformative and old-news. To learn that a CCD as "the thing that makes a digital camera WoRk" is not why i tune into science-specific podcasts. SciAm has been on a downhill slide for a while in my opinion. Cm'on. feed my brain, man.now if these guys:<a class="user" href="http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/">http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/</a>would do a podcast.. sweetness..
