💎💰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this show. I listen doing chores, daily routines, and long drives. I love the exploration of such a range of SciFi content. Please start choosing TV episodes! Fringe, Star Trek (TNG4eva), quantum Leap, !!!!!!

This is exactly what I love in forms of entertainment. Putting science to popular media is a brilliant format and is the greatest one in my opinion. And some of the stuff I have learned I've used in exams, class, and in real life.Read full review »

A really great find this one. Both hosts are funny and manage to make complicated subjects interesting and entertaining. Really like the little move/sound clips also! They haven’t recorded since lockdown though, come back guys! We need funny podcasts ☺️

Great show. This pair of naughty, naughty b*****ds present science and fiction in a thoroughly enjoyable fashion.

Michael and Rick are very engaging and clearly have an interest in producing entertaining content. First came across Dr Michael Brooks (on the George Lamb Show, still miss this with Marc and the disco train) he and a number of other contributors were great value it’s a shame some of those don’t...Read full review »

A great podcast Well worth looking at the back log of episodes, bound to be stuff to interest anyone
pjhotogog via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/13/20
Entertaining, informative and funny with a wide and sometimes tenuous link to movies, tv books but never a play What’s not to like
Missbeckaemily via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/27/19
Great show! Really well researched with a straightforward format. Rick and the doc also have great “chemistry”. I’m now running out of episodes please make more!!!

I found the book last year and loved it, so now I listen to these guys on my commute. The book is great and the podcast is even better. I quite literally laugh out loud in the car frequently while also learning a lot. Keep it up guys!

If you’ve ever been a fan of science? If you’ve ever been a fan of Physics? If you’re interested in Quantum mechanics? This is not for you (your specialist in your own right) If your a fan of expanding your knowledge and looking at a different way of looking at the topics they discuss then this...Read full review »

They speak with a tone of authority in many fields they simply don’t deserve.
sallybrunswick via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/02/19
Love this podcast, found it through RHLSTP and working my way through the back issues. I was disappointed when they cut it short for series 3, I really enjoyed the three questions and all the different experts they spoke to. I hope they change it back!
Mctumpty via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/19/19
Turns subjects like dystopian futures, super volcanos and the horror of A.I. gone wrong into such fun! Very informative too. Good mix of banter and serious science. Good work!
Albert Thingy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/10/19
I love this podcast. Incredibly well researched, informative but really humorous too. Good chemistry between presenters. Some of the episodes are terrifying as they hint at a dystopian future. Alien invasion, killer viruses, super volcanos, AI world domination etc. All good fun!
Vixterwoo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/10/19
My favourite podcast ... funny and enlightening. Thanks chaps.
brendan1971 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/09/18
Covers family favourites of pop culture and science - what more can you want. Everyone is happy
MJ Studio54 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/29/18
This is a brilliant podcast but 6 mins of ads before it even starts (and more in the middle) it beyond a joke. Seriously. SIX MINUTES
jodiemp via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/12/18
Do a string theory one please boys. Cheers)

Great duo but it’s lacking some Ivor.
Jezoc via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/13/18
Great idea and delivery - just want more. And come on lads - do a play!
Hdjdgkebdkrgsmeevj via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/23/18
Found this podcast a week ago and I’m loving it. Great mix of banter and science. I’ve only got 28 episodes left now, keep it up guys. Best podcast I’ve found in a good while.
Gbogh via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/12/18
Love the topics and bromantic presentation style of the hosts. Lots of spontaneous jest.
Podcastobsessive via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/10/18
Was better when you delved into more detail. Still a great listen tho 👍🏼
Ivanitchyass via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/16/18
Great chemistry between the hosts and some really interesting topics covered
Tomleecee via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/06/18
By far my favourite podcast. The most important scientific discussions facing modern society framed in entertaining sci fi movie classics. Dr. Michael Brooks shines in this podcast bringing years of expertise as one of the worlds best science writers. Rick Edwards is also in the podcast and...Read full review »

New format once per week and more focused (one question) is making me into a regular listener! Keep it up!
Anova user via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 03/19/18
I’ve listened to two episodes (flatliners and limitless) and I’m loving it but I’m not sure if I can carry on as the high pitched constant ‘sci fi sound effects’ are actually painful to listen to through headphones and I can’t lower the volume as then I can’t hear the discussion. Is it just me?...Read full review »

What a great podcast! The presenters have great chemistry together and bring up great scientific questions/answers with a light hearted feel! Only wish it was weekly!
Monkey connors via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/12/18
Much easier to listen to with the new shorter and more focussed format. Highly recommend, 5/5
Teatimeted via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/08/18
Intelligent, indeed academic, conversations in a relaxed, engaging and entertaining format. It brings high falutin stuff to the mid week dinner table.
LordOwl via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/01/18
The new format is great. The hosts have great chemistry and the shorter length makes this a great listen on my commute.
Dusty Baker Street Irregulars via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/18
Excellent banter from the lads and surprisingly science based.
joshnaylor via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/17/18
Recently discovered this podcast and I’ve been having my mind blown at work ever since.
Eddy-bear69 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/08/17
Wonderful hosts and really keeps your attention. Need more eps!
jj_pod via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/06/17
Love the show? Well here is some great news....They have a book out!....buy the book!

My favourite, so happy when new episodes come out. Very educational and the only 'funny' podcast that's actually funny.Read full review »
rejey via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/15/16
Early days but have been some great moments so far. Drifts between serious scientific discussion and veering on Ali G style interviews with prominent experts. Thoroughly enjoyed every episode and looking forward to more. Lots of potential here.
Reevio via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/12/16
Really enjoy this show. A brilliant combination of genuinely interesting science, answers to questions sci-fi that you’ve always wanted to know, and some very funny moments. Highly recommended.
TiernanD via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/11/16
So I'm moving storage unit (100 sq ft) by myself, so I treated myself to this podcast! I had found on a hunt for something a bit sciency with great production* (*I hate it when it's just two people skyping with one dodgy mic that clips and distorts and you can hear the moisture in the...Read full review »
