I listened to few of the episodes and found them quite interesting and informative. However, the episode on ChatGPT felt like an opinion of one person.

I like Sean Carroll a lot, have even bought his latest book. But a podcast that’s hours long is just too much. Who has time to listen to one that long?

I’m embarrassed not to have written a review, yet, having listened for over a year now. It’s one of my favorite podcasts. I love the interviews, the variety of guests and changing subject matter, and I love the AMAs as well.

This podcast is reminiscent of what Socrates himself would have created. It explores the realms of truth and learning while expanding the frontiers of “knowledge”. Through engaging conversations, Mr. Caroll, not only explains but also genuinely learns from his guests, all in pursuit of...Read full review »

I chose the episode 200 on the Multiverse, and instead of getting an episode that grabbed my attention and was interesting I found myself listening to multiple tangents that couldn't seem to follow one consistent strain of thought. Instead of making the topic digestible for someone to...Read full review »

I truly don’t understand how Sean has the time to do all the things he does, but I am delighted that he squeezes in the podcast! Although is a physicist, his interests and guests are wide ranging. He is a great interviewer and asks questions that show a genuine interest in trying to understand...Read full review »

Great content, but often the information (especially when it’s Sean himself speaking, like in AMAs) is not presented for easy mass consumption- which might be intended.

Sean Carrol was good when he was talking mainly about cosmology and particle physics but his move to JH and his new direction has brought extra depth and interest to this podcast
FDesign44 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/23/23
Sean has an excellent grasp of the listener’s state of mind and makes sure the conversations don’t leave them behind. And the topics are just fascinating. I second another listener’s suggestion to interview Aaron Sloman!

Dr. Sean Carroll is a wonderful interviewer and brings the highest standards and guests to us. I really should Pareon him.

This podcast is so valuable. It puts me in the game in so many different areas and gives me direction in learning

A level guests, C level audio, often the intereviews are via internet...super annoying as the conversations are great...but sometimes tough to listen to.hence 4 stars
nignic via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 04/30/23
only in his field. (cosmology) Becomes an average educated human who relies on opinions of his personal connections or the consensus of the institutions. (medicine, economy). Pleasant voice to listen to.
a Spiral via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/10/23
As good as any science podcast out there. As for politics... just skip those parts and skim the NYT (including all the corrections...)
JoboF IV via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/23
Guests who can’t speak well make the episode unlistenable. Ironic that the one about chatbots can’t speak without audible-ized pauses.
rdcu8mbdt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/23
Carrol's disciplined and curious mind, technical acumen, and conversational gifts illuminate contemporary scientific and philosophical subjects. If you like science, physics, exploring fundamental questions, you will love this podcast!Read full review »

Truly interesting topics and making you think.

Looking forward to hear each one of the incoming episodes 💎💎💎💎🎂

When man can vibe with Wynton.. You know he’s got soul.. ❤️‍🔥
Drew id via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/04/23
The host is unbearably condescending & so full of himself, whilst intending to appear kind & circumspect, &, apart from the most positivist brute data on natueal sciences, he entertains a notion of truth which is nothing short of blandest empiricism at rare best. His guests, if they...Read full review »

Scientists don't often step outside their field in order to engage in dialogues that are of the essence, evermore so during times of worrisome turbulence. Dr. Sean Carroll does not only step outside his field, but is acutely cognizant when doing so. His conversations are similar to the...Read full review »

Thank you!
liushihhua via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/23
This and Making Sense (Sam Harris) are my favorites. I wish Sean would interview with a 2020 John Barwise award recipient, Aaron Sloman of the university of Birmingham in England, who has made major progress over his career on many of the problems that Sean talks about — more so than any other...Read full review »

Sean Carroll comes across as the kind of professor we would all want. The giver of the gentle but firm push, perfectly timed. Great work.
Reedybloke via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/23/22
Host seems more interested in espousing his own views to his guest, than a general interest in hearing from the guest and inviting theirs. When searching a topic or guest by name, most listeners are interested in hearing from that guest.

I’m always surprised at how much I learn. I’m naturally over confident I guess.
joelavelle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/22
Carroll is probably one of the greatest minds and has the gift of communication, a very unlikely combo! So great this podcast
rxnnne via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 11/18/22
Good on topics he’s good at, less so when expounding, even pontificating, on topics he’s not.
kelizwallace via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/22
Really enjoy this podcast. Sean Carroll sounds just like Brett Clifford Gelman.
christofertodd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/22
Sean Carroll tries to get guests on his podcast but unfortunately I have to say I really enjoy his solo podcasts far more. They are packed with information and explanations as dense like a neutron star. I just got the first volume of Biggest Ideas but eagerly waiting for upcoming volumes. ...Read full review »

Great pod on GR! I just loved it. I learned more about GR at a high level then I perhaps absorbed from any other source. Thank you, Sean!
Courserajunkie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/22
Sean Carroll is a rare breed; the kind of person that carries both the pure excitement and wonder over the procurement of knowledge, as well as the mind that instinctively follows through laterally and inquisitively on ideas and perspectives postulated. The over and understated focus on...Read full review »

Brilliant episode with Chiara Mingarelli.
hgwtf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/22
Doesn’t scare away from diving deep into topics, I always learn new things or discussions challenge certain understandings I had. Sean is a great interviewer, really letting his guests tell their story.
NoisyUtrechter via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 09/27/22
Covering virtually every interesting topic you can think of, Mindscape is by far the best science podcast I’ve come across. Sean is the perfect host: he speaks fluently and articulately, he knows enough about each topic to ask the right questions (and to sometimes challenge the guest), and most...Read full review »
Radu Antoniu via Apple Podcasts · Romania · 09/01/22
One of my all-time favourite podcasts. In addition to the smart content, his voice is also easy to listen to.
Voiceofgarth via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/05/22
Absolutely love it.
Güllefreak via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 07/27/22
The podcast is pure intellectual bliss. What you are doing is enriching and thrilling. Keep up the good work!
francout84 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/09/22
I’m an evangelical, but Carroll’s analysis and explanations of physics and philosophy are always beneficial and challenging. His irenic tone is also greatly appreciated. I feel challenged, not attacked or insulted. Only feedback would be that Carroll’s political opinions are much less...Read full review »
BrandonA30 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/22
A purely amazing podcast that actually explores ideas in a rigorous, but also fun way. It’s not just science, it’s about society and politics too. And Sean Carrol brings on expert who bring forth both empirical and hard evidence. Yes there are well-informed opinions on this podcast and that’s a...Read full review »
WissTek via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/22
I’m loving the show! Carrol is a great host. He has a great way of dumbing some things down for the general listening but still feel like he’s holding his own with some of the smartest people alive. I would have given this podcast 5 stars, but the placement of the commercials is just...Read full review »

Clear discussions on difficult but interesting topics.

It’s all just stumbling over words before getting to any (if even) actual point.
