I would be interested to hear comments about this site
http://www.sciam.com/
since we are thinking of subscribing.

Are there preferred alternatives that can be recommended?

Our interest area is physics so perhaps there are things more specific?

hey! i just saw there is an interview with Michio Kaku this month:
