Customer Reviews
Excellent science podcast
Possibly the best science podcast around. Sean is an academic scientist with broad interests and the ability to ask excellent/deep questions. He gets very interesting guests and manages them well. Some of his solo podcasts are priceless (e.g., on relativity).
Giant :)
Scientists don't often step outside their field in order to engage in dialogues that are of the essence, evermore during times of worrisome turbulence. Dr. Sean Carroll does not only step outside his field, but is acutely cognizant when doing so. His conversations are similar to the conversations from "Dialogues concerning two sciences, between Sagredo, Simplicio, and Salviati". In other words he is not shy for when he lacks knowledge on certain subjects and is courteous when correcting others. He has calculative approaches towards crucial conversations. Scientists, I hope are paying attention to the importance of having conversations among different sciences and opening the doors to other fields, specially to the ones that aren't related to their science.
Great place to learn some cool stuff
I listen to this podcast nearly every day (I’m catching up with some older episodes) and I absolutely love it. As a Ph.D. student, I was feeling a bit burnt out and listening to this podcast reminded of why I got into research in the first place - there’s a lot of cool stuff out there to learn about! Sean is a fantastic host and will take you on a journey throughout the universe - from physics to jazz music to psychology to even poker. Absolutely recommend!
