These episodes could be 15-20 minutes if they cut out the repetitive rambling. It's like they're just shooting from the hip the whole time.Read full review »

Why does he yell throughout the podcast? It would be better if he talked a bit quieter.

Great Podcast. Heard about on Astonishing Legends and came right over. Hooked!!

One of my favorite podcasts out there using critical thinking to break down some of todays most interesting topics. Chris is a lovely human who takes the time to interact with anyone who is interested in any of these topics - I started as a fan and I’m lucky to call him a friend.

I wanted to like it but so many topics seem badly researched and it’s also not funny so hits neither the science or the comedy most of the time.
KItty_J18 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/21
Interesting topics. I especially appreciate the discussions on the psychology of belief, and how that manifests within different ideological structures. Also discussions on the tendancy of people to believe in things with anecdotal evidence at best. Good stuff

The main host is pretty good although a bit snarky for no reason. The cohost seems to have the mentality of an airhead teenager. I’m half expecting to hear a ”one time at band camp” story from her. The shows she does not participate in are actually pretty good.

My go-to when I’m bored with everything. 2 smart and funny hosts who are always listenable!

Chris is hilarious, a genuinely good dude and applies his knowledge to the hidden realm introducing new ways of looking at the strange and mysterious. A fun show and very lighthearted approach.

They’re just something about this podcast that makes me think of all the stereotypes of snotty podcasters of years back. Why is Chris such a hero for leaving MUFON ? A real “ statement “ would have been to stay and change the environment at least
Alecvincent via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/20
This is a science comedy podcast that sometimes also chats about paranormal and other odd goings on. I think the biggest selling point for me on this pod (aside from great production value and research) is the humor! This one really gels with me, it feels like I’m just laughing along with my...Read full review »

I just discovered this and it’s super enjoyable. I really like the way it promotes open minded ness which is one of my missions :) The host’s style is excellent and engaging and the topics often fascinating!
narada108 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/20
Always interesting and enjoyable to listen to. Easy to binge!
Jmmercer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/20
Chris, you should pay me. Venmo, PayPal, Facebook, take your pick. Love the show, you and Marie bring sanity in a world gone crazy!
LethalAudacity via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/20
Awesome podcast, very well done and entertaining. The chemistry between these guys works really well , I’ve only just started listening the last few weeks and it’s already becoming one of my top 5 pods.
Coxy343 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/03/20
Unsubscribed from this ‘cast due to the far-left leaning of the hosts. I also cannot handle the shallow subject research, despite the fact both hosts are well-educated. I wish the situation was otherwise, because the subject matter is entertaining, diverse and deserving of so much more. If you...Read full review »

Chris is the man
Beyond.T.Lee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/20
I love how Chris Cogswell and Marie Mayhew talk about such a wide variety of topics with so much enthusiasm and such a fun way of presenting info. I really appreciate that they even tackle paranormal topics with such a grounded perspective!
Kittyfreak117 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/04/20
I really wanted to like this podcast but the host is just so shoddy at presenting any unified or original ideas... As a fellow STEM PhD with a flair for the paranormal, it’s just cringe to hear all this “sCiEnCe” rambling off a bad script. There’s no entertainment value and I don’t find it worth...Read full review »

In a pool already filling quickly with good paranormal content podcasts I find this one to be the poorest of the genre. It’s as if Chris just listens to what everyone else has done on a topic and regurgitates it back into the mic. Light on content. Good one to sleep to though.
Parris001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/19
Great audio quality, great guests, great discussions.
orvil101 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/19
I get the point of skepticism but the level of “that is dumb and you are dumb for thinking that” is too much. The guy seems a little more open minded but Marie destroys any credibility these two have as a observational no bias source.
grnapple via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/19
I’ve been listening for over a year now and am a big fan, especially learning about some more sci-fi type science. My only recommendations would be if possible keep a little skewed towards science and less on stuff you can’t get to sciencey on or political spirals . Love it thanks !
Mr.Fartchel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/19
It’s an ok podcast but left something to be desired 😒
Hdbdhh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/19
This podcast is amazing!!!!!!!! And Chris is the sexiest bearded scientist of all times.
Not Zuger via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/20/19
Best part is when he yells “Marie!!!”. Keep it up!
Wesleyy1 via Apple Podcasts · Slovenia · 08/06/19
3 stars for this podcast. 5 stars for Chris and 1 star for Marie. A paranormal science podcast is no place for a closed mind. If these topics were as easily dismissed as you seem to think Marie then you would not have any listeners.
SusieQ872 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/19
Mad scientist podcast is an amusing interesting funny and all-round amazing podcast highly recommended
Real Davros via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/15/19
Your episodes on unibomber was a blast 🤓
Johnny Is Nerdy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/19
Chris and Marie make the real science behind these unusual topics understandable for everyone. They also talk about how society interacts with science.
Citrus Sunshine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/19
This episode is awesomeness. Cris on point and greatly entertaining and great informative. More of this xx
Troy Expective via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/18/19
The Unibomber series puts them over the top. I am going into the back catalog and listen to more. Keep up the great work. Got hipped to the show from Hysteria 51 minus C-Bot. 👍🏻
MoDohRanch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/19
Thanks to the Internet humanity is faced with a massive flood of information and critical thinking is sorely lacking. This podcast is a refreshing, skeptical look at fun and interesting topics.
Muggl3z82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/19
Love the theme of this podcast but I can’t get over the guy’s voice. He’s annoyingly hysterical & screams a lot.
Pearl_rocker via Apple Podcasts · Nigeria · 11/19/18
This podcast has everything! Ghost, philosophy, aliens, science, and so much more! It’s definitely my favorite podcast to listen to with a good variety of topics, good information, and lively discussions. 10/10 would recommend.
AnnieLR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/18
And is not boring.
crmb1989 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/18
Well where do I start? It’s got a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I never get bored of the subjects and pleasantly surprised by these two hosts. They have plenty of knowledge on the subject of the day and make it easily digestible. The episode they did on sewing a little something...Read full review »

I just began listening and I’m currently binging episodes. I love the way that science is massaged (or not so gently) into the podcast with humor and the appropriate eye rolls. It’s a fun listen! Thanks Monster Talk for the introduction!
Riana1! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/22/18
One of the most organized and well researched shows I have ever listen to! With host that are Extremely engaging and likable! Never a doll moment with in the run time! Add this to your library today you will not regret it!
Johnny Stitches via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/18
Another supposedly paranormal podcast that is a lefty fest in disguise
first2fight via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/18
I have only been listening a little while but the podcast has been fun and entertaining! Keep up the great work! 👍
Mike_Stewart72 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/18
I wish the host would not say “like” every other sentence.
RichardBlackson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/18
Could be a better show if the host knew how politics worked in America sadly he believes that science and therefore Scientists should be in charge mostly likely led by him.
Indy Film Wisconsin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/18
These guys take a scientific approach in their shows, and I will try to do the same: The laughter coming out of my mouth leads me to believe this show is funny. The way my finger keeps hitting "play" on episodes has me theorizing that I can't get enough. And while the raw data is...Read full review »

Great cast and interesting subjects

Recently discovered this show, and I love love love it. Love the different topics. Love the hosts, love everything about it.

History of surgery got me hooked but the take on mental health was commendable and applaudable!
