“I was going to subscribe but every episode I’ve listened to when they do the news at the beginning, Jonathan is always so condescending to the correspondents especially the female correspondents. It drives me nuts. The news they bring forth is very interesting and I hate that Jonathan feels the...”Read full review »

“I absolutely love the Futureproof podcast series. I have a lengthy commute to work daily and often listen to Jonathan’s latest episodes en route!The show has something for everyone….science, psychology, evolution it’s just brilliant.
If like me you are a bit of an existentialist or even a deep...”Read full review »

“I think Paco was making the case for investigating whether or not plants had some self-adjusting mechanisms rather than having human type intellect. Might be interesting to compare with an animal which has a distributed nervous system such as the Octopus.

“I stopped listening a while ago after Jonathan was dismissive of a question I sent in. I think Shane and Lara should be the hosts and definitely the science news of the week could be a podcast in itself and finally there should be more Irish guests”

“Jonathan has a great way of explaining the intricacies of Science to the layperson. I have loved the shows on a wide variety of topics from the program on moondust to vomitting bumblebees. Very entertaining, educating and stimulating. Thanks for all the hard work. MJB.”

“Excellent episode.
Have been listening to Future Proof for years but this has been one of my favourite episode so far; informative, a complex subject matter made easy to understand and leaves one with a sense of inspiration.
I first came across the concept of fusion studying engineering at uni...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened Futureproof since it started on the radio. Almost always informative and accessible to the layperson; the odd silly one. . Some incredibly entertaining podcasts on the sea and animal kingdoms, and some way out ones on physics and the universe. And the benefit of a husky voiced...”Read full review »

“Enjoy this, sometime crazy conversations... sometimes serious... mostly informative, unless Johonathan is to Squamish..

but I always enjoy it.. so thanks for making this podcast.

“I read a lot. Much of it is non-fiction. I’m interested in everything - but only at the surface level. I don’t want to be an expert in Genomics, Cosmology or Quantum Physics. But I’m interested in what these things are all about.
So is Jonathan.
Even better: he’s not an expert in any of these...”Read full review »

“Better than all the rest (science based podcasts). Having spent the last four years listening to this, some BBC and Gimlet science podcasts Futureproof is consistently the best.
Great work by the production team and thanks to Newstalk and Science Foundation Ireland for commissioning the show.”

“Hi, I’ve listened to all future proof podcasts and like the show. Not a fan of the new way you’re doing things.....preferred the full show as opposed to little bits. There’s no flow....bring back the flow. The flow was good. The details you print on the topic or guest are not enough. More please....”Read full review »

“Good topics. :) However, a pet peeve: When interviewing an expert, LISTEN. Don’t interrupt. Clarify when needed, but allow the interviewee to wander, to explain, to teach us.
I was about to subscribe, but the female interviewer kept interrupting like an American morning TV show host. ...”Read full review »
