rigorous and thorough research delivered with an evident passion and curiosity. You guys represent what it means to have a genuine love for learning on a topic which doesn’t (but should) have more modern scholarship. Amazing work !

A pleasure to listen to and an unparalleled resource on alchemical history. Love it! More please :)

Instead of producing new material, Travis provides an update on his personal life and requests money. Hard work and commitment to producing high-quality podcast will present a self-sustaining model. Simply asking for money will not.

Greatly appreciate the knowledge they share and help to educate. I constantly listen while I’m studying alchemy and pondering my own thoughts.

Such a wonderful introductory resource on alchemists throughout history. Have almost finished every episode and have enjoyed every single one! Thanks for the hard work :)

This podcast deserves a better review than I can give. I had no idea how interesting alchemy is. Much more than the philosophers stone and lead into gold.
kh29825 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/18
These guys has a decent modern book understanding of the history and purpose of alchemy but they clearly don’t understand it in their hearts.

Amazing podcast to learn about the alchemists of the past. Do not learn how to make the elixir of life though...

I love this show! I don’t know how I came across it years ago, but I’m so grateful I did. I have been enriched with the quirky stories and history that just doesn’t “fit” anywhere in particular. I really enjoy the back and forth. Keep it up!

Love this show! Travis does an excellent job of keeping me informed and entertained at the same time! Love the concise nature of the research and the topics themselves ! The episode on Paracelsus was infinitely helpful in my own research :) Awesome job, great show!

I loved listening to every episode of this show, and am continuously struck by how relevant I find the subject matter to my daily life. I was a touch skeptical before my first listen, but this really helped me see how much alchemy and alchemists ultimately shaped the science and especially...Read full review »

thanky you guys - an excellent podcast - just caught up - love it
Jaisjsnak via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/17
To me, this podcast is endlessly interesting. Alchemy is such a fascinating subject to me, but one that is so shrouded in mystery and misconception that it can be very difficult to find any sort of objective truth to it. This show does an amazing job of not only exploring the esoteric and...Read full review »

Great job. Informal and relaxed discussions of alchemy and its origins.

Thanks guys for putting this podcast together. I have really enjoyed all of the episodes.
BESA1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/16
Really like the podcast! Strangely though, once I subscribe to the podcast, every time I go to stream an episode it tells me that they are unavailable. Yet when I stream them without subscribing, they play just fine. Very odd.
Merchantofdeath451 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/16
I was once interested in listening to the Bohemican podcast, but after having heard it plugged twice an episode for 12 episodes or so, that fancy has passed.
Propogamik via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/16
Very concise and informative. Thoroughly enjoy the podcast and appreciate the effort that has gone in to this to continue the legacy and information about the history of science and spirituality. Keep up the good work.
Ournaturalearth via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/06/16
I studied a lot of these topics in college, and I had the privilege of handling an old Arabic astrology text. This podcast brings me back to that awesome experience. It shows the influence of Greek philosophy on science in the Middle Ages, and the interaction between Europe and the Islamic world....Read full review »

Alchemy is one of those strange mercurial subjects that underlie history. There are so many fascinating character who took up this art and I love that there’s a podcast that tells their story.

Pete & Travis plunge headfirst into a truly deep subject with enthusiasm and joy that is contagious. Each episode leaves you wanting another. They deliver what might in other hands be a really dry subject with humor and a sense of fun. Completely awesome! -sue

How have I not known about this already !? The history of alchemy is so interesting, I find myself listening to the same episodes multiple times. Well researched and has a high quality feel to it. Keep up the great work !!

From Hermes Trismegistus to Isaac Newton the History of Alchemy Podcast surveys and enlightens us moderns on the alpha to zeta of alchemy. The podcast is laidback but informative, with a lighthearted touch to what could be a boring and technical topic.
