Just the right mix of nerdy, interesting and funny.

This podcast is like an octopus, very intelligent, has many limbs(maths, comedy...) and better than fish. Ding

While I am admittedly one of the many people that came for the Matt and stayed for the Bec, I really enjoy the little dynamic they have with a good mix of whimsical fun and fascinating math topics - and both of those things really end up being provided by both people. You may also note by my use...Read full review »

Matt an Bec are a joy to listen to

This podcast is so much fun. Granted one of the two hosts brings the bulk of the fun but that’s only because the amount of fun they are is so much higher than you would think possible. Ok I’ll just say it, Bec is a statistical anomaly, but in the very best way. Matt’s fun too.

Sits at the barycentre between Randall Munroe, No Such Thing as a Fish, and Perth. Beaut!

Bec and Matt are a perfect pair to find convoluted ways to solve problems. Easy ways would be boring!
Hans Kajalka via Apple Podcasts · Finland · 08/30/23
I love the creative ways that Matt Parker Matt-thematizes problems with no obvious math in them, and Bec’s humor and creativity can take APS in such fun directions!

Engages the mind and relaxes with a chill vibe at the same time

Amazing! Six stars! Matt with the maths and Bec with a human personality! Lovely!
A.R.F. . via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/23
I love this podcast. Kinda like No such thing as a fish, but with two people and lots of maths. Truly awesome stuff

Came for the Maths & Comedy, stayed for the Lawn Chat…
Snilgineer via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/17/23
I always enjoy the combination of math, practical solutions, and silliness.
Just a Polar Bear via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/23
I heard beck on the latest episode of No Such Thing As A Fish. And honestly in that episode, she was the funniest one. But these five stars are for you. Fish don’t feel bad. You area still my go to

Have been listening for a year now and every time I see that there’s a new episode it makes my day. Well worth listening too, definitely a ding from me.

This podcast has certainly solved the problem of what to listen to. And many more.

DING indeed!
Emma-oo7 via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 05/12/23
My favourite podcast. It always brightens my commute!
Maya from Melbourne via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/04/23
You get a ding!
Kaliah_ via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 04/26/23
If you enjoy interesting and entertaining mathematical problem solving from two contrasting but equally engaging presenters, then the answer is yes. Ding!
Fred Moore via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/16/23
Turns out it’s a tad bit educational and very funny as well! Love the dialogue between Matt and Bec, and their Aussie/Brit perspective on the world.
EllieWorkman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/23
A Problem Squared sees beloved mathematics comedian Matt Parker (of Parker Square fame) join forces with science musician Bec Hill (no “x”) to solve problems both mundane and obscure, ranging from the abstract to the concrete, but always with a sense of humor and a heart towards...Read full review »

150% of your daily recommended intake of in-depth-and-over-thought solutions to life’s problems. Side effects can include laughter, knowledge and random facts on the anatomy of a doorway that aid silencing ghosts. Seek medical assistance if these persist.

Can't tell you how good this show is. Seriously, it's brilliant. Perfect to chuck in the queue when running.Read full review »
Denver, of course via Apple Podcasts · Belgium · 02/19/23
Matt Parker usually produces some great content, but this is not good. There’s a lot of non funnny chat preceding a small amount of poorly performed analysis. I’d recommend you check out ‘more or less’ (where I heard about this) for a funny educational podcast.
msgwest via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/23
I got in late but binged through every episode to catch up! An absolutely spectacular podcast that does a great job of answering every problem you didn’t know you needed answering!
Harry G 123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/23
I look forward to this podcast every time it comes out
Bbrown718 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/23
The hosts of this show are the worlds foremost expert of guessing their own future listenereship. Never have anyone seen such an achievement of taking the integral of listener downloads and extrapolating it into the future. //Drunk Aron
Widforss via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 01/16/23
I look forward to this podcast every two weeks. The hosts are really funny and tell jokes in such a wholesome way. They are really responsive to their listeners (no pun intended) and make all 50 minutes a joy. Thank you Matt and Bec for making this podcast!
BigTrees27 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/23
Bec and Matt make each other laugh and we get to listen in. One of the few podcasts I listen to as soon as it's released without even reading the précis. Reliably smart and entertaining and cheerful.Read full review »

Are you tired of podcasts that just create a lot of problems for you? Are you feeling a bit sad or, perhaps, lacking humor? Well, this podcast is just what you need. For the low low price of $0 (although patreon is available if you call now!), you can have your problem solved in a thoughtful,...Read full review »

Thoroughly entertaining
Boblocks via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/30/22
Funny, informative, and genuinely helpful, this podcast really is one of the best I’ve found. ‘Nuff said.
Krit’s Review via Apple Podcasts · India · 11/26/22
How do you make this show better? Some people think this show needs more Bec Hill and less Matt Parker, others think that more Matt Parker and less Bec Hill is the solution, but the real solution is more of both. Can we cram more Bec Hill and more Matt Parker into ever square inch or even better...Read full review »

Love this show. Learning can be fun.

Love A Problem Squared! Thanks to Matt and Bec for entertaining and educating in equal measure.
nelh88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/22
Consistent ,Good humoured, great vibe and informative. One of those podcast that makes you feel as if you are a part of the conversation as it’s happening.
Th30ac via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/26/22
Matt and Bec are very likable on their own but together they become a problem solving team the likes of which we haven’t seen since the action shows of the 1980’s. They solve problems submitted by their listeners and crack jokes. Casual yet polished. Down to earth and nerdy. I never miss an...Read full review »

One of my top-tier comfort podcasts. Charming, funny, insightful. There is no problem Bec and Matt won’t square! Also: support their Patreon!
OperationPuppet via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/05/22
If you like hearing other people’s problems and solutions to those problems (provided by two sometimes under-qualified individuals) which vary in the amount of research and informational value but never in entertainment and you don’t know where to look, then do I have a show for you. Sorry for...Read full review »

Every episode is such a pleasure

Makes car journeys fly by. Had to re-follow this version of the podcast to write a review as we’re also Patreons. Matt
