“As a non-engineer/non-scientist, this refeshingly concise podcast is consistently approachable and engaging.”

“I’ve been listing to this podcast for almost a decade and deleted it from my feed today. It’s a science podcast that now has an oil industry sponsor. Helping global warming on a science podcast is despicable. Goodbye.”

“Quick, entrataining and always interesting bits of knowledge and wisdom. You’ll always discover something new, or hear a new angle on a story you already knew. A bit US-centric if you aren’t from the USA, but interesting nevertheless.”

“I grew up listening to this every morning, and it always gave me a sense of wonder for innovation. I still get chills listening to it now; as an adult, I can better appreciate the more abstract pieces on history, philosophy, and human mechanics. It is as well-scripted as any radiolab or...”Read full review »

“Dr. Lienhard’s program is well written, insightful, and a tribute to its staff. In the tradition of the five “Why?”s, it digs deeper into the intersection of science and our lives, otherwise known as engineering, and brings out the humans behind our stuff.”

“This was an excellent podcast, but it is no longer available. Checking his site, it seems that Dr. John Lienhard's episodes are all produced as M3Us now.
This is strange, as M3Us simply contain a path to a MP3. Why the decision to block out podcast listeners from this show is a puzzling one.”Read full review »

“On and off for 15 years I've been taking a break at 12:05 to listen to Engines of Our Ingenuity on my hometown radio station. When I moved away to college, my father taped them for me, and they would take up the first few hours of the long drives between home and school. When I moved to St....”Read full review »

“In the olden days--before podcasts--I was always thrilled when I happened to catch this show on one of the local public FM stations. So I'm especially thrilled that I can now pick it up regularly as a podcast. John Lienhard has a knack for putting invention and discovery into context and...”Read full review »

“Engines has aired on KUHF in Houston for many years and I've always wanted a way to retrieve the most interesting episodes to play for my literature students at a local college. The best "engines" blend science, engineering, art, music, literature, and common sense into quirky tales...”Read full review »
