My favorite, greatest of all time, I listened to almost all and would love to see this type and quality of interviews also for physicists. :)

Very approachable. More about the people than the math, but there’s fun talk for us maths people too.
the Neanderthal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/23
Stumbled onto this when looking for some maths stuff on YouTube. It’s so lovely to hear maths being talked about in such a natural way, not trying to present it as a silly puzzle or as hugely complicated ( of course it CAN be both of those things…but not exclusively). Great chat and...Read full review »

I Love this show. It helps me enjoy math a little more
notFermat via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 01/31/23
If you like any part of mathematics, these conversations are amazing. Cannot recommend enough.

An educated adult was the most interesting, best episode to date, check it out/
jfjdjehe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/22
Interviews with contemporary mathematicians about their personal histories. At once soothing and inspiring, this a must listen for its glimpse into the personalities and process of (mainly) academic scientists. Brady’s interviews are not seeking to make some point, or satisfy an ideology. Rather...Read full review »

It’s kinda good but I like YouTube’s version better
Kendall Simeone via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/22
Knew Number File from watching YouTube, this was even better then what I have seen on YouTube, guess the recommendations from YouTube hid this content from me. Just to be clear this episode wasn’t shown to me on YouTube. I saw other videos on YouTube.

An excellent episode from Brady. Uplifting and inspiring.
Onejoebloggs via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/13/22
I have been a regular listener since this podcast began and I can't express how much joy it has brought me! I was pretty good at A Level maths, struggled with it a bit during my engineering degree, but I always find Brady's interviews inspiring. They often make me want to go back and dust...Read full review »

Amazing show. I’m tearing through it and just loving the stories of these people and their relationship to maths. Brady’s interview style is just perfect and I think this just goes the extra step in what Numberphile has been doing for years; highlighting the beauty of maths and Mathematicians
Llammmmmmmaaaaaa man via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/12/21
I love the way Brady interviews his guests and victims. So much so it’s helped inspire me to get on with the Maths degree I put on the back burner 41 years ago. Top podcast
SteveMcC1964 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/08/21
Great host, great interviews, much more than just about math. Brady finds smart, interesting people and gets their best stories and thoughts. Overall just an awesome show.
cool dude2845 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/20
I am struck by how often it happens that while Brady Haran interviews someone they will say that “ that’s the first I’ve thought of that but..YES” What a great interviewer and wonderful series.
Sprkygrg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/20
Awesome podcast!
RadioFan1111 via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 10/26/20
As a junior researcher, this is a complete joy to listen to. It’s accessible to everyone and conveys the beauty of maths to both the skilled and the profane.
Skywalker10Sam via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 10/24/20
I was already a numberphile Fan on YouTube, then I found the podcast and it’s just next level. Learning about the stories of great mathematicians, their life and what brought them to love science and mathematics is fascinating. Thanks Brady for the content Ps. I just love the soothing tone of...Read full review »

Brady has such a personable approach to a broad array of people. I’ve been listening to Numberphile for a while and every episode is quite good. I’ve just listened to the Third Cornet with Katie Steckles while out riding my bike. Very interesting and a pleasure to hear.
david.pullman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/20
Always interesting and worth the time to listen to. If you’ve never seen any of Brady’s other work treat yourself.
SteveMc1964 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/25/20
If Ramanujan counted each natural number as a close personal friend, then surely Brady can say the same for each mathematician he interviews. The ease and affability with which he directs the conversation, while knowing precisely when to listen instead of talk, make this podcast a delight to...Read full review »

A great look into the lives and careers of professional mathematicians.
HipNerd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/20
A truly wonderful podcast. This may not be the place to request this so apologies if it’s not but one Numberphile podcast I cannot wait for is one with Tadashi Tokienda! Keep up the great work! 😃
Andy2R via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/13/19
Brady has a gift. The interviewees have a gift. Both parties come together to give the listener a peek behind the curtain of their lives. Mathematics, Astronomy, Science...real subjects....with real people making each subject accessible to all levels of listener. Thank you Brady!
John G. Livewell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/19
I agree with the previous comments. Beyond mathematics, this podcast might be one of the most wholesome ones out there. Just as enjoyable as the videos.
jkllmnnh via Apple Podcasts · Turkey · 08/17/19
An absolute delight to listen to. Brady is a phenomenal interviewer - it’s almost like listening to him chatting to an old friend - and hearing the opinions and backstories of all our Numberphile favourites is simply wonderful. My favourite podcast episodes: those with Hannah Fry and Matt Parker.
LoweF25 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/17/19
Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast! These are some of my favorite people and I love the balance between casual conversation and specificity. I love getting to better understand how these people I admire do what they do so I can better emulate them. If you read this Brady, I wonder if...Read full review »

I wondered how this might fare in the podcast format, but I shouldn't have doubted Brady's interviewing skills. This format has led to some brilliant interviews and conversations around maths.

Brady asks intelligent questions and gives the guests room to tell their tales.

I’m not a mathematician or even a scientist, but I really enjoy Brady’s chats with various mathematical folks. He does a great job of introducing premier mathematical guests and helping lead them to explain, in an accessible way, what they do. Brady is absolutely brilliant in asking questions to...Read full review »
Stainlyss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/19
The podcast shows the same love for mathematics as Brady’s other work but has more time to go deep with these excellent guests.
TheClague via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/13/19
This has become one of my favourite podcasts. Brady interviews some of the mathematicians from his YouTube videos about their mathematical careers and lives, the result is often humorous and warm and just a delightful listen.
The Girl Scribbles via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/24/19
If you’re a fan of Numberphile and its various guests, you’ll surely enjoy this more personal look into some truly brilliant minds. And even if you’re not, or have no clue about any of this, these are still enjoyable interviews - for all parties involved. It’s easy to hear that Brady is truly...Read full review »

When I found out one of my favorite YouTube channels also had a podcast, I nearly died and/or started believing in a God. This podcast is perfect and I recommend it to everyone I talk to.
Bwhittyboy22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/19
Specially the account of David Eisenbud's life and his way of seeing mathematicians i found quite beautiful. This Podcast is a platform on which the mathematicians of the youtube channel numberphile tell the story of their lifes and their life scientific.

Numberphile has changed the way I view mathematics, so after watching so many YouTube videos I was happy to learn they have a podcast too. I listen on my commute whenever there is a new episode out, and love them all. More episodes please Brady!

I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT BRADLEY COOPER IS RIPPING OFF BRADY HARAN!!!! BLASPHEMOUS!
hellointernetextremist via Apple Podcasts · India · 03/11/19
I'm horrible at math. But Brady's excellent interviewing skills bring out all the personal sides of the interesting folks on the show. It's definitely encouraged me to read and watch the work of his guests. Keep it up!Read full review »

It’s so interesting and relaxing! Plus, a great way to catch up on numberphile videos- when a new podcast comes out, I’ll binge the videos with the mathematician in question first! Edit- just realized I won’t be getting to the latest one in a while, so many Matt Parker videos! It’s incredible...Read full review »

Incredible podcast

I have loved Numberphile videos for years. This podcast is a great complement to the videos - a more personal look at how some of the familiar faces on Numberphile got into math and what they love about what they do. Thanks Brady!
King999 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/19
Quite a lot different from his other podcasts, but still in the same conversational tone and with some great guests, very nice to listen to!

I listen to a couple other podcasts by DR Haran, so I thought I’d try this one. And even though I love the Numberphile YouTube videos, I wasn’t really expecting much from this. (A podcast about numbers? Without the brown paper? How could that work?) But it is GREAT. Love the human element. Really...Read full review »
