This American television program is a science and astronomy talk show hosted by astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson. The show features guests and entertainers, who help Tyson present the seemingly intimidating topic of science to a broader audience by injecting the topic with a bit of humor. Questions about science are answered using language which can be understood by non-scientists.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is the perfect host for a talk show about science. He has spent many years popularizing science. In many ways, Tyson has become the "Carl Sagan" of the twenty-first century, following Sagan's example of demystifying science and debunking junk science. Neil deGrasse Tyson has become one of the most easily recognized science figures in the media.
This talk show is for average people who are curious about science. Hardcore science buffs will probably find the show's presentation of science to be somewhat light compared to that of more serious science documentaries; while, other people with no interest in science will probably find the show's subject matter either overwhelming or even uninteresting. The target audience of this show is the group of people who fall somewhere in between these two extremes.
In an increasingly technologically-advanced society, scientific literacy is more important than ever. Decisions on many ballot issues require a knowledge of science. Neil deGrasse Tyson is the ideal choice to host a show which helps the audience sort through the confusing mixture of science, junk science, and superstition. "StarTalk" is more than an entertaining science talk show. It is a public service. The show is highly recommended!
