“The writing behind this show is absolutely phenomenal, especially when listening to each episode like it’s own puzzle piece that fits into the bigger picture. I like listening to this in the morning and I don’t find the sponsorship bothersome at all. I understand the work they are doing and I...”Read full review »

“I love both science and history. I find it so interesting when human behavior (psychology) shapes history, and the history of technology and this the way society is today. I started with Dec 13th episode, ”Too Little or Too Much”. and I’Il now binge listen to all 19 episodes. I appreciate the...”Read full review »

“I would’ve given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the over-the-top and gratuitous plugs for the show’s sponsors, a pharma/research company. The stories are great, very informative and entertaining. However, basically every story is compared and/or paralleled to the show’s sponsor. I roll my eyes every...”Read full review »

“The first half of each episode is a pretty solid mini-history of science story. It's the second half of every episode where this falls down. It becomes an over-the-top add for the sponsoring company that comes across as very heavy handed. To hear the host tell it, the lead scientist of...”Read full review »

“This podcast started off rather good, discussing interesting innovations such as LEDs, cars, and the first Eureka! moment. It did a pretty nice job putting stories into context to make them more relatable. However, sad to say this podcast lost me on episode 3 when they opened with whining about...”Read full review »

“Dan really knows how to lay out a story. It’s like he’s tricking me into learning. I’m hearing about all these things I sorta, kinda, thought I knew about, but now I really do. Also, as a fellow Canadian, I’m really enjoying the Canadian content.”

“After listening to 5 episodes I Like the science history, since episode 3 I skip the ending infomercial.
I love using the stories of science in my classes when I teach. I believe they help inform and reveal important issues we need to consider. I’m a Chemist. I’ve worked in pharmaceuticals....”Read full review »

“Fast-paced, light-hearted delivery that keeps it from being dry, and it’s very informative.
A good reminder of how inextricably linked science and history are.
Hoping for a lot more episodes to come.
Found it through a recommendation on Science Friday.”

“I didn’t realize that this podcast is just an advertisement for a pharmaceutical company. Although the stories are interesting, a good portion of each episode is an ad for the company! Too annoying”
