“Always love vox’s unexplainable. But when there were too many podcasters in a show, things got heated up & the facts & delivery were drowned in laughter, giggles & sort (not that I’m against that, but it can be too much). Anyway, still a good show & keep up the good work.”

“This is one of the best shows I’ve listened to since becoming a mail carrier. I love how easy it is to learn and how fun it is every day. I feel like I’m part of the show because the hosts are with me while I walk every day. They can’t hear me, but I talk with them while they’re talking. Even...”Read full review »

“The semi smug hipster edge of vocal fry presentation of this woman is beyond obnoxious. The latest episode on the Earth warming was full of her injecting some kind of personal attitude and every time she spoke mocked the seriousness of the topic. A very self involved person who needs to find a...”Read full review »

“I have been looking for years for a podcast to keep my mind engaged while doing ‘mindless’ tasks: cutting the grass; walking the dog; cleaning the house; etc. I was stymied at every turn. Nothing fit. I would listen to a handful of episodes, and then, ‘meh’. Then I found Unexplainable. I was...”Read full review »

“…talking about racism and messaging about white guilt.
End of episode, still zero science about the benefits or disadvantages of “good posture”.
Simplistic, ideologically charged and without substance.”

“worse than re runs, this show regularly chops up old episodes, adds a few minutes of new narration and a new title and posts it as a new episode. listening to this show gave me a weird deja vu feeling until i figured out what was going on. bad faith but good topics sometimes.”

“An episode of this podcast was forced upon me by Science Vs and it was so information-less, such a bad interview, I stopped listening part way through (only making it that far in the hopes it would build on the potential intrigue it began with). I guess that’s what you get when something is...”Read full review »
