“This is an unbeatable podcast for people interested in science, or even in just thinking through issues deeply and rigorously. That said, I wish the host applied that same rigor to his choice of advertising partners. I completely understand the need to monetize the podcast given the incredible...”Read full review »

“One episode and I was hooked. This podcast goes much deeper than most others. It’s two experts talking about the universe and physics and some other things.
The one problem I have is the ads. I’m not here to hear about babbel or whatever. I would rather have the ads at the beginning and end then...”Read full review »

“I agree w other reviews about how condescending the host comes off. It’s noticeable enough I can’t listen too long bc I get uncomfortable. He has brilliant experts discuss mind-bending ideas. However it’s hard to tell if the host doesn’t trust his guests or us as the audience—but I would say what...”Read full review »

“Overall good podcast but this episode showcased how out of touch academia is with the normal working population. Employees wanting to impress their managers by working extra hours and over promising results only to become burnt out?! Unbelievable!!! 😂Welcome to the real world guys😂”

“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 »

“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.”
