“I admire Erik's ability to find new areas of math to talk about, and the way he makes them so accessible to amateurs such as me. He's true to his intro... finding math in all sorts of weird corners.
Keep it up, Erik.
Update 6/27/18: I am a middle school math teacher. No matter what I'm...”Read full review »

“Your opening, "A podcast where we discuss fun, interesting, or just plain weird corners of mathematics that you would not of heard in school" contains at least three grammatical errors. Please fix them! Who wants to learn from someone who can't even speak properly? (1) 'of' is completely wrong....”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. I listen to it in the morning with my oldest son, Samuel, on our drive to work.
It makes for fun conversation and I am going to be sad when we have finished all the episodes.

“I am a lover of math and even majored in applied mathematics in college. I can say that Erik is right in that a lot of the topics were not things I heard in school. And these are the stories that inspire me and remind me why math has such a big part in so many of my passions.
Thanks Erik for the...”Read full review »

“In easy-to-listen-to short episodes, this podcast covers a wide range of math topics from the recreational to the serious, on topics both classical and modern. Highly recommended. Might I suggest you do an episode explaining the Riemann zeta function for those of us whom it bewilders?”

“Ever heard someone say, "He's all hat and no cattle"? Well, Erik's the opposite. He doesn't need fancy sound embellishment nor witty repartee to keep his listeners engaged. (But his one-liners delivered dead pan are a nice touch!) Always an interesting subject explored in a way we can understand....”Read full review »

Whether you're math challenged or well-aware of these corners, you'll enjoy it.
I would like my Math Mutation a little more often, but always listen to it first when the subscription come in.
A good time”
