Customer Reviews
A phenomenal science (and comedy!) podcast
You know when a question pops into your brain and you go “huh I wonder if there’s an actual scientific explanation for that?”? That’s what this show is!!! Trace and Julian look into the actual science and history behind those questions and it is wonderful and informative and just an absolute delight.
So fun!
Found this show through SciShow Tangents and am so pleased with what I’ve heard so far! Funny and interesting. Definitely recommend. I’ve already recommended it to a family and friends. Hope for many episodes to come. 😁
