Customer Reviews
I am not a scientist
But I have scientist friends who recommended this podcast - a true delight - clear thinking, debunking of stupidity and laughs - what more can you ask for?
So grateful
Thank you so much!!
Your show has been so helpful in these crazy times to make sense of all.
And so entertaining!
I just wrote a damning review to a podcast called Conspirituality that slammed you two last week, and Paul Offit as I can’t believe what they were saying.
Your balanced and super sane reviews of all the madness have helped me and so many others to to stay sane and still have a laugh.
Can’t thank you enough and please keep it up
🙏🏻
I don’t often review a podcast…..
But this has got to be one of the best out there. A great mix of science and culture commentary from two very dynamic hosts. If you find both the pro and anti-Vax crowd tiring, you will find this centrist exploration of the topics compelling.
