I’m a closet mathematician and science nerd, and this podcast fills the need to explore and understand science and math topics today. I enjoy how Steve Strogatz and now Jana Levin probe into the topics with their guests in a neutral, unbiased way and ask great leading questions.
Fascinating

Our son, a mathematician, suggested this show to me. What I love about it is how the hosts conduct the interviews in a way that non-scientists can understand and also convey the joy (of course in the title) of being able to make these discoveries, etc.
Great hosts, great guests, great topics

Most of the episodes are really interesting. Sometimes there’s a stretch in an episode that I don’t have the expertise to be able to follow, but I’ve learned to stick with it because every episode has enough good stuff to be worthwhile, and most episodes are all good stuff. I appreciate that they tackle some really hard topics even if that means I can’t always follow all of it.
Essential
