Sci Guys is a podcast all about the weird and unbelievable ways that scientists learn about the world around us. Each week, Corry (@notcorry) tells the story of a particularly strange scientific study while his cohost Luke (@lukecutforth) does his best to derail the conversation with questions, jokes, and whatever nonsense he can think of.

Customer Reviews
A Fascinating and Engaging Podcast
I’ve listened to every episode of SciGuys and find it a great way to start my week. I especially like the topics that deal with crazy experiments, mental illness, gender, and sexuality. Recently, a doctor diagnosed me with AuDHD, and it was your episodes on autism and ADHD that helped me realize this about myself. Thanks SciGuys! I look forward to more “crazy, weird, and wonderful stories from the science world”!
podcast on adhd, person with adhd, project on adhd
i absolutely adore this show…the episodes on ADHD helped me get through a molecular model project on adderall. i’ve been putting off this project for weeks, i can finally move on to my other 5 projects!! my chem grade thanks the sci guys!!!
Freud
Love the show.
Would love to analyze Corry
I’m a therapist.
But that’s another matter.
Fyi - Anna Freud was kind of a big thing:Ego Psychology.
Again, fine show!
