  • Short Science Snippets

    Cool little podcast to listen to for answers to random questions (some simple, some more complicated). Short and sweet, so you won’t have to dedicate a lot of time to this one.

    Some people seem to have issues with the hosts’ voices, but I don’t mind them. To me, none of that takes away from the interesting tidbits they share.

    I love The Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week, and this show is a bit like that, but bite-size.

  • Reading answers

    Love the content, but editors need to try to have natural conversations, not read answers aloud. Take the chance, guys. Could be a great show, but put away the scripts.

  • Great podcast for a quick commute!

    This podcast is the perfect length for my under 15 minute commute to work. The hosts are always positive and upbeat while teaching me a little tidbit of information. Great topics, too!

  • Childish

    Really simple questions with dumbed down answers. The main host has a valley girl voice with an upward inflection at the end of every sentence so statements sound like questions.

    I found this podcast because of Weirdest thing and love it! Even though it has short episodes, (which I don’t mind) they still fit tons of info into them. Thanks and keep up the good work!

What is human composting?
Q: So, Annie, what are your thoughts on human composting now?
I think I'm more into it than I thought. Being part of a garden is really lovely, and it's wonderful to leave something living for your family.
