There is what humanity is now and there is what it must become. Which according to this podcast will be something far stranger and more powerful than what has been imagined in most of science fiction. The perfect antidote to generations of dystopian works.

Isaac Arthur has a brilliant mind and an extraordinary passion for the various topics that he covers in his long-running series, eg the Fermi paradox and humanity’s ability to take the next step on the kardashev scale, both of these series are still updated despite a huge backlog of several years...Read full review »

You should be aware of the bill that Isaac’s wife is pushing in the Ohio state legislature. I can’t support this family anymore. It makes me want to puke.

Love listening to your podcasts I’ve learned so much thanks for all the hard work you put in and keep them shows coming

I’ve been listening to SFIA since near the beginning of his YouTube channel. Considering he posts weekly, I’m always impressed with his ability to captivate on topics that would even seem dry. However, most topics are quite remarkable. With that said, I find myself thinking on various episodes...Read full review »

I’m a painter, not a scientist in any way or form, and this futurism podcast is one of my favorite things to listen to. Mr. Arthur doesn’t dumb it down for my dumb a55 and I appreciate that! Although I’m not a science person, I am someone who likes to be awed. Mind-expanding in the best way, Mr....Read full review »

Isaac really uses realistic science to explain the concepts which can be understood by people like me who do not have a physics background. Love the content. Frank Sasso-Anxiety Therapist Podcast

Great
KmzLll via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 08/26/21
Very solid when discussing real world engineering and hard science concepts. Less so when extending those ideas into theoretic futures. The host’s lack of understanding/imagination when it comes to social, economic and political theories is problematic when imagining possible futures. It’s all...Read full review »

Isaac has such a wise and thoughtful worldview towards the future, and that worldview has inspired me to work harder towards creating it as a VR developer. He and his channel are a true gem. Always remember to get a drink and a snack with each episode ;)

I’ve been listening watching/listening to Isaac for a couple years while fighting cancer. It’s like my outlet and channel to get lost a d get away. I hope he does this for many years to come.
Clifford098 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/21
Brilliant, It’s taken me nearly 4 weeks to go from episode 1 to current.. now I’m finger-twiddling till the next ep. comes out.
Lizard1978 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/10/21
I have been an SFIA fan for years! If you like science and/or sifi this is the show for you!
BOOOOOooooo.......!!!!!!!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/21
I didn’t even know I was into this until I came across Isaac. This guy leaves no stone unturned and thinks of answers to problems I’ve never considered nor heard anyone else explain. Five solid stars.

Really excellent podcast for those interested in science and exploring a positive vision of the future based on technologies that are mostly theoretically possible. The Fermi paradox series are my favourites.
ShadyBroker via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/22/20
I credit Isaac Arthur with 20% of my inspiration to go back to school for engineering, after working for ten years as a sensei. The rest was getting sober/zen practice, the IPCC report, and having nieces and a nephew whose futures I care deeply about. I would love to help design the first...Read full review »

HOLY FUDGE I LOVE THIS SHOW. Its probably the only thing that is keeping me from being really really depressed.
Lord_Hermes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/20
In between moving galactic structures and spawning super-intelligent species, I like to take a load off and listen to a SFIA podcast. They are intriguing and enthralling, every week!
keepitsurrreal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/20
Isaac Arthur’s science and futurism YouTube & podcast presents a delightful foray into science fiction mega-engineering and how to make it happen. Arthur is well versed in engineering and presents concepts like ringworlds and O’Neill cylinders with a lot of satisfaction. Where the show is...Read full review »

He taught me what the theoretical maximum of human imagination is in this era!

One of the wisest people I’ve seen on the internet. Every single episode grants you a new perspective to look into the future. Thanks Isaac, for bringing us such quality content over the years. You are inspirational.
Eymen Kara via Apple Podcasts · Turkey · 06/24/20
Isaac does an amazing job painting an optimistic future for mankind. A lot of complicated ideas and grand schemes explained in a way that can be understood without a technical background. I would not recommend starting with recent topics unless you have a firm grasp of the concept being...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Isaac’s YouTube channel now for a while now and he’s great, but I found that the podcast version is more convenient at night because I can turn my phone screen off and iTunes still runs, unlike YouTube! Keep up the good work man!
JohnnyNitetrain via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/20
Some things go over my head but I absolutely love your podcast. Gets you thinking about the stars and the future.....
Mrb2k7 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/06/19
Isaac and his crew put together an excellent podcast each week! Educational and fun, this is where our mind finds hope, where wings take dream!
Drewster1971 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/19
This podcast is one of my favorites, I love Issac and his content so much.
IoannesMercatores via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/19
Absolutely amazing podcast. Issac is brilliant and mind blowing. Than you for dooing this.
CanadianThor via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/10/19
Isaac does a fantastic job discussing a wide variety of science-based topics, ranging from space exploration to earth science. If I were to offer one constructive observation, it would be that frame of reference for many of the discussions is the far future. I would like to see some more topics...Read full review »

This podcast is interesting and covers all its topics to just the right depth, each one is interesting and thought provoking. There is also the perfect amount of humour and its just my type, thanks Isaac.

Title says it all! Most amazing podcasts! Thank you!

These are the biggest ideas in science. Every episode stretches my brain so far. I can’t get enough.

A great way to substitute the even better YouTube channel when I’m travelling.
Alex27942 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/02/18
Absolutely amazingly interesting stuff, fully recommended. My only minor criticism would be that he slows down a little, there is hardly a pause between sentences. With such technical and often complicated subject areas, giving the listener more time to digest the information would be beneficial.
Rickle-Pick via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/23/18
I love listening to Issac, his topics are always fascinating and his voice is soothing and calming. I will admit to falling asleep to half of his shows but then I just listen again the next night and maybe the next until I have heard it all. His articulation is the best I have ever heard and to...Read full review »

Isaac Arthur’s work is always incredibly thoughtful. I love how very grounded his stuff is without being closed off to more radical scenarios and theories. Fun and thought provoking, thank you!
robmeh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/18
Great content, so very interesting and often mind blowing concepts delivered in a relatable way. Listening to and watching the YouTube content has made a huge fan of futurism!
Unplugged pdx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/18
Came to podcast due to wanting to listen to Issac not on YouTube.

Deductive reasoning that borders on clairvoyance!!!! One smart dude!!
FriendtoAnimals via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/18
I first was introduced to Isaac a year ago. He had been doing his thing on YouTube for a long time already, and I was immediately addicted. But instead of starting at the beginning and working through, I skipped randomly through. Isaac, you barely have a speech impediment anymore. Actually....Read full review »
