What an incredible podcast, from two incredible people
I LOVE THIS PODCAST. I know I'm shouting it, but it needs to be heard. The material is fascinating and engaging, Will and David are funny and insightful, and I leave the end of each episode feeling more in wonder about the world around me. It's so easy to present science in a dull fashion, but this podcast--by virtue of its hosts--avoids that. You get to engage with the topics and concepts in an engaging, fun way, which is something sorely missing from most science communication today. I'd particularly like to commend them on their episode about the geologic timescale. That was so brilliantly devised, planned, and executed that if there were some sort of podcast awards, I'd be obligated to nominate them. By the end of the episode, you really understand the timeline of earth, how long life has been here, and just how expansive history really is. The last thing I'll say in this three thousand word review is that Will and David are are easily accessible to their audience. This is great because the more engagement about science that happens means better understanding and better communities for all. Keep it up my dudes! You're killin' it :)Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast which I recently discovered. This podcast covers various topics relating to paleontology (hope I spelt that correctly). Each episode first goes over news and then the funny hosts get to the main topic. If you like to learn about our past this podcast is for you.
