  • Superb!

    Paul is an amazing speaker! I’ve been following him on YouTube, and I was so excited when I discovered this podcast. I’ve listened to plenty of other science podcasts, but none of them come close to Paul. The way he tells stories is incredibly entertaining and so easy to follow – he really brings science to life!

  • High information density but suitable for novices like me!

    Fantastic pod, treats listeners as smart but not experts. Host does an excellent job making the exotic completely accessible. And his enthusiasm for the subjects is totally infectious. Strongly recommend!

  • Great ride!

    Dr. Sutter takes us to exotic places, but makes them accessible to non-scientists. I have learned so much and so enjoyably! Highly recommend.
