“I’ve been an on and off watcher of the SFIA YouTube channel and I’m happy to have found it as a podcast since that’s how I watched the vids usually. Not all the topics are equally interesting and there’s some that leave me zoning out. But that’s not the podcasts fault which has super well thought...”Read full review »

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

He and his channel are a true gem.

“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 »
