Customer Reviews
Incredible show
I’ve been listening for 10 years. It’s my favourite weekly show. It’s always fun, keep me up to date, engaged and interested in science. Thank you guys for all the hard work!
Best podcast
Of all the many podcasts I've listened to this is by far the best. Entertaining, educational, accurate. I know I can trust any information I hear here. Rare these days!
Honest and Thought Provoking
This is the first podcast I’ve ever listened to on a regular basis. It never feels like I’m listening to a performance, which makes for an honest experience. I found out about the podcast after listening to The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe audiobook, and I’ve been slightly obsessed with science and critical thinking ever since. I would definitely consider myself a nerd who wants to understand the world for what it is, and this show definitely caters to that desire.
