“I started listening to the podcast 1 year ago when my Biology teacher came around the corner with the topic of Evolution. Listened to every episode since, and caught up within 4 months, as I find the narrative inspirative, enjoyable and, first and foremost, likeable. I’ve gained proper knowledge...”Read full review »

“This is the kind of stuff that is a real treasure to find. Educational, but entertaining. Easy to understand and relevant for people just learning about, or even those that have studied evolution for years. Well done Rick!!”

“Evolution Talk is a fantastic podcast on one of the most important scientific theories of all time. Each episode is short but contains a wealth of knowledge. The show explains evolution in a way that everyone can understand and not only looks at the science of evolution (from genes to how music...”Read full review »
“I think I did not miss any of the episodes of this fine series of episodes about evolution in the broadest sense. Not only deals the podcast with the various aspects of the theory of evolution, but also to all the people, who playeda role in it. The last episode, about Mary Anning, was brilliant...”Read full review »

Thanks a lot Rick, very usefull !!

“I'd love to give this podcast 5 stars, but the presenter's grammar goofs cannot be swept under the rug. The main complaint I have is that he says things like "to you and I" and "involving you and I." Apparently, some misguided teacher convinced him to banish "me" from his vocabulary! News...”Read full review »

“.. but I do enjoy this podcast. Coste is not an evolutionary biologist—just a regular guy doing his best to explain things to other regular persons in terms that are easily understood. As an evolutionary biologist I find a maddening stumble from time to time, but in my car no one can hear me...”Read full review »

“This is a great podcast for those who are on the go but want to learn more in-depth about evolution. It never gets too heady to understand and the shorter length of the episodes doesn't make it feel overwhelming. The podcast also does a magnificent job teaching the history behind many of the...”Read full review »

“I love it. I found this podcast last week, and just love it. Fascinating topics and stories. It reminds me of The memory palace, but about Evolution; and i love the Memory Palace. The Strange Case of Richard Owen might be my favorite episode so far.”
“I had a 4 hour drive ahead of me so I searched for potentially interesting podcasts. I found evolution talk and downloaded 10 episodes. I was hooked, I pulled over and downloaded 20 more. I must have listened to it for 3 straight hours on the way there.
Rick is an authoritative yet friendly host....”Read full review »

“This podcast is superb! Rick Coste explains clearly and concisely about evolution and the major players in the field. I only wish the episodes were longer (and a bit more in depth). Although I studied the field, I learn new things each time. Well done!”
“I discovered these podcasts a couple of months ago and they are fantastic. They are really well made and produced, and really interesting. If you are interested in evolution, science or history you should listen.”
