NOVA host hopes to generate buzz about science

David Pogue, a technology writer and former Broadway arranger is the new host this season for NOVA scienceNOW, a PBS program that aims to make cutting-edge science entertaining. (It airs at 10 p.m. Wednesdays on WGBH 2.)

Comments

Pogue is a stupid-acting clown and totally inappropriate to host a series on science. Although I've been watching NOVA for 30 years or so, after watching a couple of his episodes I gave up on Nova ScienceNOW. It's embarrassingly silly, and just plain insulting to intelligent people. I'm frankly shocked by the poor taste that WGBH has exhibited.

 

who-cares-1940, seriously. You take yourself too seriously!

Pogue rocks!

He brings an intelligent playfulness that makes science fun and attracts viewers. WGBH made a great choice for the host of NOVA.
