Informative

Very informative and very easy to digest. This podcast handles very complex issues with a good understanding of how people differentiate between culture, location, and etc.

Out of context intro

Do you realize people listen to many podcasts, so when you introduce your show mid sentence, out of context, people think there show skipped or some other bug. This trend needs to end. Can’t you “smart” people put in more effort or come up with something original.

Is there ANY more necessary podcast right now?

Listen: we're in weird times right now, and science education really seems to be lacking real-world science application and science literacy. I'm not a particularly science-brained person, so I *need* this podcast to explain how things actually work, and why I should care a lot more than I already do. Please keep up the hard work!

The best podcast bar-none

I listen to a lot of different podcasts, but because this one has become such a favorite recently I was stunned to see it only had 125 ratings in the Apple podcasts app.

Simply put, this is the best science related podcast there is. Look no further- there is no other podcast that has such detailed discussion of modern scientific research.

Sure, the long format can be a drag if the topic isn’t of interest for you- you can skip over them- but for those 80 or 90% of episodes that do touch on something you’re interested in or don’t know about- the conversational format and the host’s uncanny ability to ask fantastic, knowledgable questions make this the delight it is.

The host Desiree is a scientist as well and really knows how to get highly specialized researchers to relate their work to everyday people and issues, without dumbing down the discussion or becoming dogmatic, and there’s just no one else doing that.

Thanks for your show and please never go away!

Addictive! Fun, understandable, and relatable

I have listened to every single episode of Science for the People. I love how the hosts make science a simple and geeky conversation, making science and scientists themselves more approachable and understandable to your every day listener. Science for the People is my favorite podcast of all time!

Love it!

This is by far my favorite science podcast. Very good interviews that ask insightful questions. Does a great job of making the topics understandable without over-simplifying.
