“Just found this podcast and already listened to several. All really interesting and thought provoking. Great discussions, concepts explained well, plenty of depth to get into the subject matter.
Love the mix of subject matter!”

“The most intelligent discussion on pretty much everything. The gulf of knowledge, balance, maturity and demeanor between Sean Carroll and someone like Eric Weinstein or Sam Harris is inconceivably vast. An adult podcast for thinking adults. The best guests. Great questions from the host.”

“The recent interview with Ellen Lander broke me. Sean is such an amazing teacher when it comes to physics and the intersection with philosophy. However, giving credence to a reputed hack like Ellen Langer is too far. Sean either needs to vet his guests better or increase his standards. There have...”Read full review »

“Possibly the best science podcast around. Sean is an academic scientist with broad interests and the ability to ask excellent/deep questions. He gets very interesting guests and manages them well. Some of his solo podcasts are priceless (e.g., on relativity).”

“Scientists don't often step outside their field in order to engage in dialogues that are of the essence, evermore 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 »

“I listen to this podcast nearly every day (I’m catching up with some older episodes) and I absolutely love it. As a Ph.D. student, I was feeling a bit burnt out and listening to this podcast reminded of why I got into research in the first place - there’s a lot of cool stuff out there to learn...”Read full review »

“Very fine podcast. Wonderful breadth of topics. Not dumbed down but neither is it overly esoteric. But I sure wish the host wasn’t so darn smug. He’s also often condescending to his guests. Maybe he has earned the right to be smug but I don’t like it. Neither would Kant. I think it’s an...”Read full review »
