I hate podcasts but I love this one and that is saying something

Don’t let the math scare you away. Sum of all parts is wonderfully entertaining for all audiences and shows the endless way that numbers in all their forms infiltrate our lives: from music to phone numbers to the metric system.

Definitely enjoy the episodes that Joel produces himself as SOAP but he also just takes episodes of other podcasts to fill out his seasons which I’m not too keen on. While I definitely appreciate the recommendations for those episodes, I want to listen to Joel’s Sum of All Parts rather than a...Read full review »

I’m super into niche trivia and coming at it from a numbers angle is fascinating!
Camiii99 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/19
As someone who doesn’t know much about mathematics but wants to learn more, I feel like Sum of All Parts stands out sharply from the dearth of relevant, intelligible (for the uninitiated) math podcasts. I’m trying to get less dumb, and this show has been a great perspective on the world in the...Read full review »

I have only just discovered this and am already saddened to know it ended in 2018. It’s excellent.

Truly a fascinating and compassionate show, I desperately hope it returns one day

Interesting topics covered in a quirky style

Such a great idea for a show, and Joel is a fun and engaging host!
Blythezilla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/18
I love any show that really nerds out on a specific topic and makes it interesting through stories and journalism. Sum of All parts does exactly that for math, a subject full of interesting stories just waiting to be told.

Really interesting and varied content. Love this Podcast. Extremely thought provoking, and brilliantly produced. Never a dull moment... The Sum of All Parts forces you to alter previously held perceptions while covering ideas and subject matter that stays with you long after each episode...Read full review »

Heard an episode on 99PI and came over to hear the rest. Great stories behind the numbers!
Lauren-1984 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/13/18
We want more episodes. Each one has been a gem. Please, more! Just like the first ones. MORE!

Really loving this new podcast series on RN! Can't wait for the next season.
Go_fishes via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/10/18
Absolutely fascinating, such a great podcast.
GirlsCanDrumToo🥁 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/26/17
All the epsiodes I've listened to so far have been fascinating, and, as always for the ABC, production standard is high. Highly recommended.
bhuvidya via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/20/17
I found every episode of this series unexpected and fascinating. It’s about numbers and the amazing things that we learn through studying numbers. But it’s not really about maths, it’s about music and sport and... I can’t wait for the next series!
cioccas via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/11/17
Intriguing (vaguely) number based stories. Liked the Roman Mars tie up

I love every episode so far!! Great podcast. Discovered SOAP from 99pi Half Measure ep. Bing listening to every episode and they’re all excellent!! I’m especially in love with The Infinite God episode, sooo good!

I like this podcast But it contains swearing so it should be labelled explicit.
TheBananaOrangeApple via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/24/17
A fantastic new podcast ABC on a limb but it is great! Would love it to be 45minutes long
Beaver Buck Tooth via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/23/17
New show but off to a great start.
Metri8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/17
I got introduced to this podcast though 99PI and 5 episodes in I'm addicted. Really interesting look into math, numbers and the way people interact with them. Keep up the good work.
Hxyid via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/19/17
Well produced, fascinating, original, excellent.
science_listener via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/19/17
These math stories are great! I love the pacing and the excitement of the host and the people he’s interviewing.
Slcnickname via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/17
Who knew maths could give you the tingles AND make you cry?! This podcast was both super entertaining and made me feel smarter. Can't wait for the next ep.
Jessmb39 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/09/17
This podcast is excellent. Have started sharing it with maths lovers, netball phreaks and numberphobics like myself. The kind of wonderful, joyful storytelling that makes me forget I’m ingesting numbers. So well done
b_nnonymous via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/09/17
Really well put together. Hard stuff made easy listening by someone who clearly knows what they’re doing. Super enjoyable.
Hoorayforjimmy via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/06/17
Loving this pod, Joel!
Synthia808 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/05/17
The format of this podcast is great, each story is very different and interesting with a common thread of talking about numbers. The host does a great job of bringing us through the stories and explaining complex ideas in simple terms.
nycpodcastluv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/17
Such a clever concept and so well produced. I'm not a maths person but I've been drawn in by the storytelling and excellent production. Want to hear more!
rip_bonkers via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/04/17
Clever and interesting podcast about numbers in everyday and quirky situations. It has a smart format and good production. Fun and informative. Look forward to more.
davomikec via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/04/17
I smashed the first 2.5 epsiodes of this driving up the coast. Great podcast with interesting stories, will appeal to fans of RadioLab, Science Vs, Reply All etc. The guy putting it together used to work for WYNC/Radiolab/Freakonomics and has produced shows for 99% Invisible, so you know it's...Read full review »

I found a new favourite podcast! This didn't disappoint. Really worth a listen for anyone who likes interesting stories and anecdotes with the perfect mix of everyday pop culture and science trivia. Easily digestible. Quality production. Lively banter. But overall just a great bunch of...Read full review »

So far this show has been very good! The host and stories are very interesting and the use of math to tell these stories is well done. My only issue with the show is that the sound editing can be a bit chaotic and distracting at times. Overall great though!
istandcorrected via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/17
Two episodes in and two fascinating stories - they're fun, they made me laugh and who knew netball, or even numbers, could be so nerve-shredding... more please!
Chimp85 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/30/17
I have never understood what Math Geeks see in Math. I’ve always thought of it as a means to helping me through my everyday life, nothing exciting. But listening to the Sum of all Parts really gave me goose bumps. I can hardly wait for the next episode.
