The Biology of Superheroes Podcast

I adore this podcast! I love the balance between superheroes and science! Thank y’all for being great!

This was a thoroughly enjoyable podcast that mixed true scientific process and thought with some great guest speakers, with wonderful nerdiness. Quite fun, and a good substitute for not being able to take an elective college course in The Biology of Superheroes :)

Love the concept, great execution going between snippets of interviews and the hosts’ discussion of the points raised. The conversational nature including tangents is perfect for the podcast platform and makes it that much more enjoyable. Using superheroes and science fiction as a window to explore science and the natural world is a fantastic approach to educate and foster curious minds! (Anyone who says there is too much chit-chat is entitled to their opinion, but so am I and they are wrong! There’s plenty of just-the-facts science reporting out there, go listen to Quirks and Quarks. That’s a great show too, but this is serving a related but different niche.)

So much fun to listen about these immensely intelligent people breakdown the science behind our favorite science-fiction. It takes a lot for me to listen to a podcast when I’m NOT on the road, but this has taken up most of my chill time and it’s totally worth it😄
