Rare for me to give a podcast a 5 star but this podcast delivers. Absolute experts who are willing to discuss the issues and facts. I work in sports and consider myself very informed about sports, but I always come away with new knowledge gained.

Great information guys are awesome

Had to stop listening because the misogyny is just too pervasive. This unfortunately goes hand-in-hand with their borderline targeted obsession with trans and DSD athletes, particularly around Paris 2024. Their ideological and often accusatory and hateful commentary about these athletes and lack of nuanced discussion regarding such a complex topic (something that a sports science podcast SHOULD really be about and why I came to listen in the first place) is just disappointing and a further veil and excuse for their continued misogynistic attitude and comments. I hope you read these reviews and find a way to communicate and do better - especially for female and/or DSD athletes who may be listening.

Thank you for sharing your analysis of the topic of sex testing. Super smart and well balanced with facts and advocating for fair and effective policies and practices. Appreciate this coverage, it’s been a major challenge to come by unbiased, critical thought. Keep it up! 🏆

Great show when it talks about performance science. Could we please move past the undeniably contentious issue of gender identity? I believe you have devoted enough time to a question which affects competition structure. Does this directly impact training and performance technique for most pro and amateur athletes?

Love the show. If you want to watch the Super Bowl in person, expect to pay over $5000 for one ticket. Luis Iowa.

I like this podcast. I discovered it during Tour de France. I’ve enjoyed discussions of cycling, athletics, records, fatigue, altitude, training, nutrition, sleep. But I really hope it doesn’t become a rugby podcast or I’ll just stop listening. I can only take so much talk of mouthguards, refereeing, and other niceties of rugby, thank you.

I recently discovered the Real Science of Sport podcast and have been consistently impressed by the wealth of knowledge and insights shared in each episode. I truly learn something every time I tune in. Highly recommend giving it a listen!

Great, scientific discussion of sport. It’s unfortunate that people negatively rate this podcast and claim no science is referenced when the topics discussed involve Trans and DSD athletes; that is simply untrue and people dismissing studies that don’t support the outcomes they desire. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, in my opinion, the approach of this podcast is fair and respectful when analyzing these tough issues. Sport inherently requires a balance between safety, fairness and inclusion, particularly in protected categories of sport, and this podcast isn’t afraid to deeply dive into those issues.
