I was waiting till I was caught up on episodes before I left a review, but then Alie made an episode about House Plants and I did a VERY perceptible butt dance. The content is top notch and the way Alie breaks concepts down to be relatable and memorable is beyond amazing. The best podcast to learn factoids that will forever leave your coworkers thinking you are a lunatic with an extremely adhd interest in science and the world. Thank you for all that you do Alie!

I finally have an answer to the evergreen question, who would you invite to dinner? I’ll invite Alie Ward. Standing invitation to dinner at my house, Alie! Let’s talk native plants. Or butterflies, or birds, or video games, or photography, or ….

Truly, the best science podcast out there. I have a commute of an hour or more and Alie never misses. Even when I find myself not interested in a topic, she makes it palatable. The worst thing about it is the show notes: you thought you were done, well here’s five more episodes you might like. Seriously, give it a listen. I proudly display my ologies merc everywhere I go and awkwardly find myself interjecting in conversations “oh there is an episode of ologies about that…”

Great podcast!! The most recent 3 (LC x2, trash TV) were well done, and highlighted ologies that I thought were pretty niche to me. I’m excited to see more people get introduced to these fascinating (if sometimes scary) subjects.

Never knew why people were into podcasts until I had to listen to an Ologies episode for a class. Now I can’t stop! Somehow Ologies blends together the perfect amount of entertainment with education. Only been a listener for 2 weeks now but I am a hungry caterpillar who can’t stop eating these up. I listen constantly from driving to work to doctors appointments (seriously suggest learning about super ant colonies while getting blood drawn to distract yourself 10/10). Alie Ward has gotten me, and countless others, to get that dream drive going again to continue on to get my next degree in ecology after I thought I had lost it forever. *I am updating this now in March 2025 and have since achieved my dream of being a park ranger. Do I use this as a source of knowledge to use during educational programs? Absolutely. No shame. But do I cite this as a primary or secondary source? That’s the real question.

Alie has been a great companion on commutes, errands and long drives for so many years. She has enlightened me and my family and my friends. I have quoted the show so often that my family cheered when opened a sweatshirt at Christmas

Fascinating and fun, you'll leave this show feeling happier and full of fun facts

This podcast is amazing, covering all the bases that I wanted. It talks about a large variety of topics, providing a layman's comprehension of a variety of topics in a witty manner with a healthy amount of humor sprinkled in to keep you engaged and heard. I love how down to earth the host is, and how aware she is of her viewer base, which makes it just that much better. 10/10.

A friend recommended this podcast and I’m so glad he did - it is engrossing, enlightening, engaging - and - entertaining! The topics are fascinating and Alie is an awesome host.

As a 28 year old who is still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, this podcast is an invaluable resource. Thank you for helping open my eyes to careers and resources that I never knew existed 🤯🥰🫶
