“I generally enjoy this podcast, I find it very helpful. It would be great if you could broaden your narrow focus of biomedical into general STEM. For example, if you don’t get into grad school in your first attempt a post bac is a great option. But they don’t exist in every field. Bridge programs...”Read full review »

“They waste so much time (sometimes 15+ minutes) before getting to the point of the episode. Only downside, otherwise I really enjoy the content that actually relates to the episode.”

“I wish the hosts had been able to keep their political biases out of the episodes. It was interesting and humorous to hear their hubris to assume that they are absolutely correct. Their ‘training’ as scientists obviously missed the critical thought portion. As a scientist who has been in academia...”Read full review »

“I’m a Phd student from the UK thank you so much for this amazing podcast. You guys both have such a relaxed style, I sometimes laugh out loud while listening to you on my bike. On a serious note I’ve had some real challenges with my phd, I’m a mum of 2, the science usually just won’t play ball,...”Read full review »

“This podcast does a great job of explaining all aspects of academia! It can be so hard for first generation PhD students to navigate the “boy’s club” that academia sometimes appears to be. These men seem so nice and approachable. Great speaking voices as well!”

“I have been preparing to apply to grad school for the past 2 years, and finding this podcast was the last piece of the puzzle I needed to get the ball rolling. I am submitting applications in December and feel so much more confident with HelloPhD’s tips and support.
Thank you, Josh and Dan!”

1. Intriguing interviews
2. Insightful information
3. Easy-going humor and banter
I highly recommend this podcast for anyone going through, or wanting to learn more about,...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to Hello PhD once or twice a week for the past month and it’s been the highlight of my days. Whether you’re curious about beer and random scientific facts or really wonder how is life in grad school (or even if there is life!), this podcast won’t let you down! I’m currently a...”Read full review »

“I rely on a lot of podcasts to get me through long hours in the lab and clicking in excel. But when I first saw this podcast, I thought, good grief, I'd rather listen to a podcast about anything else, even sportsball, to distract me from my day-to-day grad school reality. But I'm so glad...”Read full review »

“I heard about this podcast on r/labrats and again in the NIH newsletter. I have found every episode to be at least somewhat relevant to my career. It’s a very entertaining and high quality podcast. To the producers - know that this tool will be heavily used as I apply to graduate school.”

“I love the premise of this show, but as a 5th year PhD student, I wish I’d found it earlier! Some of the stuff they address makes me wish I could just do everything over again.
I do love when they review the beers - usually because it’s funny, not necessarily because it’s informative.”

“Should be required listening for anyone thinking of pursuing their PhD - a bit late for me (or maybe not…). thanks for taking on this complex and mysterious topic. My daughter is a undergrad chemistry major, and I’m making sure she hears about this program.”
