“Really not sure how social justice equals science but however, you can push your narrative to indoctrinate the minds of the masses. So please by all means wrap your social justice in a scientific bow so our youth can continue to be victims and oppressed.”

“I normally enjoy this show and appreciate that it has a lining of science to the stories. I enjoy listening to something that can educate or inspire me and possibly change my view point. But I am signing off this podcast after the latest episode with “Dr.” Howard Lieberman. He is not a doctor and...”Read full review »

“This podcast is truly inspirational. As a PhD student in a STEM field myself, I find it can be very difficult to relate my work and passions to those who are not in the same area of research. This podcast is not only entertaining, but really serves to bridge the gap between the science community...”Read full review »

“There are still great stories being told. It still has good sound and production quality. The hosts are still amiable and enjoyable. Just like anything, it’s not for everybody.”

“The Story Collider allows scientists to tell the personal stories of their research, discoveries, and personal journeys in a way that allows them to share scientific knowledge with a novice audience as well as give a human face to scientific researchers. It’s a great project to bridge scientists...”Read full review »

“I loved the earlier Story Collider episodes. Ben Lillie was a great host, and the stories were all about science. When Erin Barker took over, I’d find myself skipping over her introductions - I love Erin and her obvious love of the material, but not everyone has a voice for radio, which Erin...”Read full review »

“The show has taken a serious nose dive since exclusively telling redundant stories about Covid. It’s gotten extremely old, and is just a sign of laziness on the part of rhe creators.”

“Lots of great stories. Some story tellers could use some coaching to eliminate “um, like, but” and to not repeat themselves. That is, get to the point.
New hosts chat too much (sorry guys, but too much giggling at yourselves).
Despite this criticism, I recommend this podcast!”

“The two offenders are;
“A science story; uh-huh”
“Because SCIENCE....was on my side”
They are truly awful. Please please change them for something a bit more “with-it”. I can’t help cringing every time I hear it and I have to turn down the sound to avoid anyone mocking it when it plays. Apart...”Read full review »

“I do not get hung up on the host’s voice. I do not worry about whether it sounds like a “science” story. I simply like stories. I like variety! I like hearing from the world when I am stuck at home due to the pandemic. More please!”

“For some reason can't listen to Liz Neeley. Maybe my age is the problem, but she seems to whisper and use her voice in a way that I just can't follow. Had to give up, unfortunately. Other speakers are clear and I'm able to listen to without a problem, which isn't good if your job...”Read full review »

“Heard Erin Barker’s story on The Moth. Enjoyed her dry humor & unique voice. Looked her up and found-out that she was host of the StoryCollider.
Checked the podcast, and I listened to a numbered of Great stories last night. I’ve subscribed, and I’m looking forward to hearing more!”

Too much chatter that is inconsequential and a bit annoying. And two, the stories more often than not are not actually related to science at all! I hope...”Read full review »
