There are not enough fantastic scientific resources like this. It is unbiased, accurate and educational. In this world of science misinformation, I applaud Dr. Flora for being a steady voice for objective evidence-based reason.

the e-mails show that Folta did receive an unrestricted US$25,000 grant last year from Monsanto, which noted that the money “may be used at your discretion in support of your research and outreach projects”. Folta says that the funds are earmarked for a proposed University of Florida programme on...Read full review »

This is a fantastic podcast that looks at a broad array of biotech topics ranging from medicine, genetics, agriculture, conservation, and many more. The conversations start at a high enough level to be of value to laymen and non experts but also drill down to specifics that can be deeply...Read full review »

This is a great podcast with a lot of really fascinating episodes. I have to admit that I’ve been on the fence about GMOs but Kevin Folta has really challenged me to think more clearly about this issue.

Been listening ever since he was on Joe Rogans. Love the science and wish my friends would listen to this other side of this GMO debate but unfortunately my friend are all conspiracy theory folk.

Let me say on the topic of biotechnology its a good podcast and I like that part of it. However I am moving on... On episode 302 at the 11min mark there was an odd "Deep Voice" advert which trashed a number of topics which the podcast host considers to be fake information and that as a...Read full review »

Recently became aware of your podcast. In addition... also informed of the U of F decision to fold under political/personal pressure. We can only hope that you will find a more welcoming home to base your efforts. It seems that “the truth” has become elusive in our country. Sad days indeed.

As a young farmer with a keen interest in knowing the truth/facts behind the myths surrounding biotechnology in the world today I find this podcast an absolute must.
Gord165 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/27/18
At first, the title “Talking Biotech” made me think “I will not be able to understand a single word” nothing could be further from the truth. Dr. Folta and his guests bring science to America. I am fascinated as to how well I can understand the content and value the education it provides.

I really enjoyed the NAS review of GMO foods. It was great to see that the finding that GMOs have similar safety to equivalent non-GMO foods was based on chronic illness data from North America where GMO crops are used vs the U.K. and EU where they are banned. It is hard to find evidence vs...Read full review »
