“This is an excellent science podcast that keeps things accessible but still informative on a wide array of intriguing subjects (and beer reviews). If you’re looking for neat science and cool hosts and guests, this is the pod for you.”

“This podcast is very entertaining. I have subscribed/unsubscribed multiple times over the years due to the fact that the hosts cannot keep politics out of the show. Unfortunately, podcasts are my escape to/from reality and are simply consumed by me to unwind. Politics invade almost every aspect...”Read full review »

If you’re in my position, this show is PERFECT for you! I can’t stress how much I’ve learned! There are 100’s of different topics that...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and enjoy it greatly. Episode 292 had Ryan put his foot down on abusive behaviour and that inspired me to finally write a review. I’m behind in episodes but I’m working on catching up.
Keep up the great work everyone.”

“Amusing at first but the arrogance displayed by the host became quite annoying to listen to after the 150th show in. Maybe It’s part of the shows character but during these times, it’s certainly turned me off enough to unfollow the podcast. Good luck!”
