Math Mutation

Fifteen years and counting. (See three reviews below!) Twelve years and counting. (See two reviews below). Thanks Erik, for this awesome podcast! It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years of listening to Erik producing these wonderful pods. In the beginning I had just discovered the world of podcasts, and M.M and Erik quickly went to the top of my subscribed list. . . Below is a review I wrote years ago. It is STILL totally applicable. ...We look forward to your podcast. Informative and fun, it adds a 'math' dimension to life. AND there are over 200 previous episodes to enjoy. We recommend this podcast to everyone.

I admire Erik's ability to find new areas of math to talk about, and the way he makes them so accessible to amateurs such as me. He's true to his intro... finding math in all sorts of weird corners. Keep it up, Erik. Update 6/27/18: I am a middle school math teacher. No matter what I'm teaching there is always a student who either "knows this already" or "did this last year," and I am constantly in search of enrichment problems and activities. Some of these podcasts are great fodder for these activities. I've been on hiatus from listening for a while, but I'm catching up and glad to be finding more pearls of wisdom. David S.

I have been listening to his podcast since 2008, and I have always been impressed by with Erik’s ability to take aspects of every day life and explain the mathematics and philosophy that are behind them. As a future professional mathematician, I appreciate how every topic, no matter the level of mathematical sophistication, is explained in a down-to-earth way that is accessible to anyone regardless of their background. After seven years, I still eagerly look forward to the release of each new episode, and I still find each one as interesting as the previous. Keep up the great work!

Your opening, "A podcast where we discuss fun, interesting, or just plain weird corners of mathematics that you would not of heard in school" contains at least three grammatical errors. Please fix them! Who wants to learn from someone who can't even speak properly? (1) 'of' is completely wrong. (2) We don't hear the corners, we hear about the corners. (3) When I was in school, I did hear about some of the things you discuss. Try "A podcast where we discuss fun, interesting, or just plain weird corners of mathematics that you might not have heard about in school." Update: Your last episode was gross!!! Get a pop guard so we don’t have to hear your lips smacking between words. Nobody wants to hear that! Ick!!
