A Problem Squared

Found this podcast following the podcast tree from Office Ladies. As a crafty math person, this show speaks to my soul! Learning and laughing a lot <3!

Some would argue that bec was the best for the fun personality while others would argue that Matt Parker is the best for the like unique way he likes solves problems so I think that's pretty cool but I think they're both great. I listen to another podcast where there's like characters that makes voices so that's cool too, but my dad listens to A Podcast Of Unnecessary Detail and matt Parker is also one of the other hosts so that's pretty cool too so thanks guys!🧠👅🫵🏻👵🏻🥰🥰😍😘😝

While I am admittedly one of the many people that came for the Matt and stayed for the Bec, I really enjoy the little dynamic they have with a good mix of whimsical fun and fascinating math topics - and both of those things really end up being provided by both people. You may also note by my use of ‘math’ that I am an American, so this podcast really is enjoyable all over the world (even if some of the pop culture references are a bit lost on me at first). I have been listening since around (I think) 2022, but I’m just now getting around to listening in order from the very start (I’m on 026 right now). This only proves that it has been and continues to be a very quaint, varied, and overall enjoyable show. Thank you guys for making it!

I love the creative ways that Matt Parker Matt-thematizes problems with no obvious math in them, and Bec’s humor and creativity can take APS in such fun directions!
