“It is so refreshing to hear amazing, fun, and fascinating facts, especially from women in science. This podcast has given me some great facts to share with anyone I meet. I truly appreciate the hard work you do to keep us informed on the most random of facts.”

“I’m glad to hear that Rachel isn’t opposed to eating bugs. That’s something I have strong feelings about.
I used to listen to episodes twice a week until I caught up on the archives. Now I listen on Thursday afternoons (Having an episode waiting for a day boosts my dopamine.) I wrote poetry...”Read full review »

“I’m an info junkie, and I know that all the info on this podcast is TRUE and researched. It’s fun to listen to it as it is not just one person talking (reading) about something. And no politics. Just some really weird and interesting facts. Love it!”

“April 26 episode not playing in the native podcast app in the Apple iPod device. (Trying to add it to the playlist closes the app.) The topics are great. Podcast would also be great if you can go easy on the giggles, enunciate clearly, don’t talk over each other and generally slow down the...”Read full review »

Update: The subject matter is still interesting but the silliness and constant laughter is worse. The podcast reminds me of a...”Read full review »

“Caveat, I’ve only listened to a couple of episodes and found the podcast to be enjoyable. BUT WHY in the intro does Rachel say they will hear teasers then “decide which one we have to absolutely hear about first” when Rachel ALWAYS goes first?!?!”

“This is such a cool podcast with wonderful and interesting content. But every time I start listening to it end up turning it off. I can not stand the numbers of times they say “like” or “um”.
Um I want to um like it but like I just can’t. Um it’s like such a shame.”

“I like the premise of this podcast, but I cannot make it through a single episode, with one or more of the hosts saying “uh” and/or “um” every other word. It makes it feel way too colloquial and unprofessional, for a supposedly highly researched podcast. Please read your reviews and heed our advice!”
