“I hate spiders. But I enjoy other science topics. If every episode’s gonna include stuff about spiders, I’ll stop listening to this show. Can’t handle the UGH! the moment I hear that word.”

“This podcast has been a refreshing mix of interesting content and playful non-toxic silliness for decades. I love it!
It is obvious that the three hosts have a genuine enthusiasm for the fascinating science stories they are reporting and also have an underlying fondness and respect for each...”Read full review »

“Wow, I just rediscovered this podcast. I used to listen a long time ago. And it’s nice to hear that it’s basically the same. Good show. But could be better. My advice, 20% less Justin (volume and speaking) 10% more Blair, and 10% more objectivity. IMHO. Then this would be a great show. No offense...”Read full review »

“Seems that these people are smoking something, they’re unorganized, not prepared, they sound like high school kids! What a horrible podcast compare to TWIV and TWIM ;( I don’t believe it.”

“The hosts grate on me like no other podcast does. The content that they are discussing is quite interesting, but the delivery of that content takes too long with stupid jokes and fake excitement. So many better science podcasts out there. Unsubscribe.”

“I’ve tried this podcasts quite a few times because the content is interesting. Today was my last try, now unsubscribing.
I just can’t get past the HORRIBLE delivery. The fake exuberance, high pitched gleeful voices and the tone as if talking to a 3 year old is just intolerable.”

“Although the weekly podcast is very long (2+ hours), it is a complete coverage on various scientific fields. I also appreciate their opinions on the scientific studies or topic, even if I do not agree, since such discussions make me think in 360-degree fashion. Thank you for an interesting and...”Read full review »

The political opinions expressed on this channel are not science and seem to ignore the typical scientific path of finding evidence to support these...”Read full review »

“Sadly, this “science” podcast has turned into a political bully pulpit and they’ve lost their way. I miss the early days of true science reporting. After submitting this review, I’m deleting this podcast stream from my library. Political pandering is intolerable, liberal or conservative.”

“Every week I listen to BBC Science, Skeptics Guide to the Universe, and TWIS. BBC does a deep dive into a topic. SGU provides solid insight into scientific methods and news, and TWIS releases a week in review that covers many topics. These podcasts complement each other in format and voice. BBC...”Read full review »

“I’ve plowed through four episodes - I really am interested in the subjects they discuss. But while I am trying to hear the actual science parts, the discussions is always interrupted by the male voice spewing his inane chatter that adds nothing. He’s so loud and obnoxious - he’s usually wrong....”Read full review »

“Two hours is entirely too long for a podcast. Episode length should ideally be between 30-60 minutes. The man’s voice is super annoying and the production is terrible. They sound like they’re talking from inside a can. Also, the structure is loose, rambling, and contains way too many things. It’s...”Read full review »
