Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Generally great topics and content, sometimes a little too focussed on comics, D&D and other "American Nerd" culture for me, but I wouldn't expect them to change on my account and it's worth it because they frequently come up with some stunning insights into some great scientific topics.
One of the best, intelligent and human
Fascinating facts, erudite hosts who have very easy-on-the-ear voices, a wide- ranging general knowledge and a respect for all points of view and different societies. One of my favourite podcasts. We never know what they’re going to talk about but it will always be well researched and presented, whether it’s about space, cats sitting in boxes, or the invention of anything from chopsticks to the camera. My go-to podcast.
Top padcast in my library
By far my favorite podcast, great content, great hosts. Perfect to listen while working - I’ve learnt so much!
