“I love this show. As a woman who loves science but got discouraged from pursuing it by the end of high school, this has reignited my curiosity. I’ve even gotten my mum into it.
I am loving Gillian’s caterpillar updates. Keep them coming! If there are ants outside either of your houses, please...”Read full review »

“I listened to 2 consecutive episodes to try it out, and on those episodes each had a guest that used the word “onomatopoetic.” If that weren’t enough, the girls enthusiasm and curiosity makes life happier. Make your life happier. Listen to this podcast. And you just might learn something too. No,...”Read full review »
