In fairness, he actually knows a lot about astrophysics. The problem is that he likes to pontificate on all things science as if he’s degreed in every field.

I have to admit I find his opinion on every single common thing like it's some profound thought really jarring

does he really do much pontificating? I've generally just seen him as someone that communicates upper high school, lower college level concepts in ways that are fairly understandable for those with little science background.

I mean yeah he comes off as a smug asshole in the process, but to my knowledge I've never seen him really pontificating on say the bleeding edge of what fields he's not in can do. Though maybe that's just something I've missed seeing him do.

I’ve seen both. Making science accessible is always a good thing. He also has moments where he’ll aggressively debate someone over the Amazon river basin or ancient civilizations when it’s apparent he’s out of his element.

I listen to his podcast. He often talks over guests and interrupts them to make sure everyone knows he knew something. Overall his show good, and the guest are amazing, but his ego ruins the feel of the interview a lot.
