I’ve had several colonoscopies and Rachel and her guest gave the best advice I’ve heard for prep and what to expect. Everyone who fits the patient profile should have this procedure and I hope it is available for you.
Great podcast

Great listening. Science quickly is a breath of fresh air.
Love the science! Hate the politics…
Feb 10
I guess it’s a SciAm thing. I may have to find a real, hard science news podcast somewhere else. The level of left leaning snark and commentary in the news reports has increased since 2018. I’m personally sick of it. I want to learn about new advances in science. Not hear an editorial slant in either direction. I get enough of that from every single other media source I’m exposed to. Bring the science back to Scientific American.
Disappointed
Feb 3
I have been listening to this podcast for the last few years and truly enjoyed the little snippets of information they pack into each episode. In one of the “Your Health Quickly” Episodes, I was disappointed to hear the name calling that targeted two people as “anti-vaxxers”. Without actually researching the folks they “called out” (to see if it is indeed accurate), to understand their views, and perhaps even learn that at least one of them is NOT actually an “anti-vaxxer”, they followed the “mainstream narrative” and labeled them. The Episode still would have been just as informative if they left their names out. The information in the episode was timely and accurate about everything else. I would have thought name calling was beneath this good Podcast. Since then…your Podcast has turned into a mouthpiece for politics. I was interested in the Science that is in your title…not the political junk. We hear enough of that garbage on all of the other platforms. I originally wanted to listen to this Podcast to learn new, refreshing things, but you haven’t stopped the barrage of politics. To keep my sanity, I am no longer following your Podcast. Do better.
Short, Succinct, Fascinating!

I love this show! Very fascinating science news, while also respecting the edge of fact and theory. This is one of my favorite podcasts.
I listen as soon as they’re published

I specially thought highly of the math series.

You have got to slow down your speech. Not everyone listening is a gen Z. People listen in noisy environments. And Rachael, you Need to work on your "radio voice". l listen to a lot of podcasts with female hosts-Shortwave, Planet Money, The Indicator... I know you can. Bob
Great

Just enough for my disappointingly short attention span…
Great fun

At a mere 10 or 15 minutes per episode, Science Quickly is a marvel of concise information and a great listen
Long-time Listner: A Sad Goodbye
09/24/2024
I've listened to this podcast since 2007 when it highlighted hard science and health discoveries. Over the years it became longer and longer - which was no problem! - and shifted to more soft, social sciences. It seems 2020 broke the editors and staff of Scientific America. They officially took a side on the 2020 US Presidential Election and the podcast went downhill from there. At this point in 2024 the episodes are long-winded tales of pseudo-scientific, leftist dogma. Gone are the physics discoveries. Stories of new health technology is replaced with COVID-mania and Critical Race Theory in healthcare. With the recent fawning over Vice President Kamala Harris and the subsequent endorsement I believe it's time to move on. Goodbye, 60-Second Science. Science Quickly has now destroyed your legacy.
