The show covers a variety of topics related to recent scientific news and research. They present the information in an easy to understand language, while staying true to the information presented. Science on Top is definitely one of the best podcasts for a broad range of science information.

Not sure why we haven't heard anything since the end of 2016. Perhaps its just a good summer down under. Certainily a chilly winter in the States. Nothing new yet this year? No studies on effects of Trump on markets after he blew off your PM. Trust me, Trump is a jerk, and seems to prove it...Read full review »

Intelligent skeptical look at the strengths and weaknesses of recently released or published studies with emphasis on analyzing the often misleading mass media "click bait" headlines. Variety of guests together with core panel and excellent host Ed Brown trying to keep "order" adds fun and the...Read full review »

This is the best science podcast I've found that deals with non-mainstream (and of course the most interesting mainstream) science news in a fun and accessible way. The presenters manage to explain some pretty complex science in a way that any of us can understand, and have some fun along the...Read full review »

I listen to an abundance of podcasts and have done for a good 5 years now... however I've never been able to find one as good as this one. I love the verbal dynamics of the cast and the silly tangents that these boys (and occasionally girls) get themselves into. This show is super under-rated!

This is how science should be podcast. Always interesting, down to earth, often funny and frequently provokes you to 'have a little think'. It's so good I've recommended to the BBC that you review the podcast and web site to see how things should be done. I very much look forward to my weekly...Read full review »

I have enjoyed this podcast b/c it is very funny banter about science stories but there is also a serious edge to the analysis. It's proof that you can be amusing and entertaining as well as giving the science content its due. Highly recommended weekly listening.

I spend a lot of time in the car. Listening to podcasts keeps me sane - particularly science podcasts. I've listened to many different ones over the years and now that I've started to listen to Science On Top I'd rate it as one of my favourites. An eclectic mix of really interesting topics...Read full review »

An enthusiastic and motivated bunch that cut through the crud we get served up in mainstream media and go to the source to give us an informed look at the goings on of the scientific world. Great show, and great fun!

Great show that brings cool science news to the public. Also that immunologist guest they have sounds quite handsome. I suspect that in real life he has rugged good looks and a devastating wit. Certainly a must-hear.

Great way to get a summary of the science news of the week along with enough background to let you understand what it means!
