“If there is ever a movie or series on the rogues lives, id really like to see Ray Romano be cast as Bob. Anyone else got casting ideas for the Skeptics Guide?”

“Hey, devout SGU listener. Here in SF we take driverless cars all the time. They are everywhere. Great deal but sometimes they take a weird route. For example they could go straight up 7th ave to get you to your destination but they do a couple of unnecessary turns and circle a block. You get...”Read full review »

“I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. As an ex-science teacher, the topics they cover and the way they cover them brings me joy. Everyone on the show is brilliant in their own way. Steve though…dude knows so much! Should be required listening for all late teens / young adults so...”Read full review »

“I used to love this podcast. Ever since they got their new host Kara Santa Morina (however you spell all that) it’s become an anti-Trump liberal California podcast. Can’t we just talk science and not politics? She’s not really the host but she might as well be. Steve barely gets a word in and she...”Read full review »

“This podcast was recommended to me around 2013. It gave me a consistent group of voices that resonated with my values at a time that thinking critically and taking an evidence based approach to information made me an outcast growing up in Utah. Thanks rogues!”

“Hi! Chemistry educator here. I listen to this show for fun science pieces and skeptical pointers.

I have a bachelors in chemistry and...”Read full review »

“Have been enjoying the SGU for years, and continue to catch up on old episodes.
Despite the older science, I enjoy the group far more prior to Cara.
Though she’s clearly quite intelligent, she also clearly shows bias on studies she likes and reviews (e.g. current episode 934) and finds them...”Read full review »

I’m a science enthusiast, yet I’ve had...”Read full review »

Too often, the show is less about critical thinking than about pushing...”Read full review »
