The signal to noise ratio in this video is extremely high.

  That goes for a lot of videos, TBH. Lots of introductions, jokes, uhms, ahs and other junk, and you can't even search them to look for, say, a thing you're interested in.

    Think OP meant lots of signal, ie, not much fluff.

      Ah, ok. Still, I'd vastly prefer a transcript.

        90% of the page at the bottom is the transcript. Right below the audio file is the time annotated transcript as well. Might have been added after you opened it: should recheck.

    This was the exact reason I stopped listening to NDT's Star Talk. Wayyy too many mediocre jokes, intros, outros, how's it goings, what's ups, wayyy too little science.

      It is supposed to be like that. It is entertainment made for a broader audience. And it is also fairly "cheap" to make. If you want more science you can buy his books or watch cosmos (a new one is coming this year). Or you can "graduate" and go read more specific material. Someday someone might figure out how to make more specific content for a lot of people, but it mostly hasn't happened yet.
