“At least the first two minutes of this podcast are ads. The podcast in total is only 10 minutes. That’s not counting ads at the end too”

“Too many ads. Is the host just an AI robot reading from Wikipedia? Hire some 8th grader who has done a school report and they could get two stars.”

“This podcast is a good listen to anyone who wants an information packed podcast in under 10 minutes.
However, the ads have gotten more frequent and longer over the years and really take away from the otherwise information packed episodes.
The bottom line:
if you like info packed nuggets of a...”Read full review »

“I really want to love the podcast but the speaker and the speaking style is extremely annoying. Not only the voice is highly pitched, her way of delivering speech is very interrupted with a “a” every now and then. It feels like some AI is delivering the podcast. Make it more human like.”

“They usually parrot collectivist, statist talking points with a heavy dose of confirmation bias in their selection of flawed social science studies. The conclusions presented are invariably predictable, slanted and fail to acknowledge the challenges to their theses within the scientific community...”Read full review »

“I find this very difficult to listen to. When I first started listening, I thought that the voice was synthesized. The speaking style of the host is very unnatural and I can’t believe this is the way she actually talks.”

“It’s not the first time I’ve heard something on this pod that wasn’t fully discussed, to say the least- but when making definitive statements, and especially citing research/journals, I’d like the source. The dairy and inflammation episode (they just limit it to upper respiratory mucus for some...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to this podcast for years but the ads are getting to the point where there are more ads than the content of what is being shared. Not sure how much longer I will be subscribed.”

“If you are a binge podcast listener like I am, this is NOT for you. The amount of advertisements and non related content is MORE than the actual content of the episode. I gave this podcast a very good try. But I just can’t be constantly fast forwarding through ads on my commute to work.”

“The episode on conception didn’t recognize the remarkable fact that only women can conceive. The resource article did reference women, but the podcasters vacated science, in favor of foolishness.”

Contrary to what some reviewers would have you believe, I have heard zero change in its content and the idea that there is “bias” in the content is laughable. How is there bias in learning about coconut crabs, the phenomenon of not feeling...”Read full review »

For those complaining that...”Read full review »

“I like this show because it’s short and informative. And since it’s short, I can just quickly listen to it. But the title usually has a question about a topic which usually piques my interest and makes me intrigued. But i’ve noticed they rarely answer the question in the title. They just talk...”Read full review »

“I like the short episodes and have found quite a few that I wanted to listen to but after the first two I had to stop. The narrator has a nice voice but the cadence and speed are very hard to understand. I think if she slowed down and worked on cadence/inflection she would sound really nice.”

“The host uses a very strange cadence when she talks that I find extremely annoying. Reminds me of Captain Kirk on Star Trek, but worse. Her voice is fine, and I just wish she would talk normally! I generally get too frustrated after a single episode and have to take a break.”
