- Love this podcast!
I am a post-bac researcher getting ready to apply to graduate school in neuroscience. It can be over whelming at times and listening to this podcast has really helped me feel invigorated in the search for the right program. I love hearing about the research and I think the hosts ask great questions. I also love getting to hear some more personal stories and insight from the professors that they interview. Thanks for the great work!

United States7 years ago - A must-listen for neuroscientists
Very informative podcast, the host asks excellent questions and has some very high-caliber experts in the field as guests. They do get into the nitty-gritty technical parts of neuroscience, which I personally love. However, this could be difficult for people outside of biology.
Amazing podcast overall! Highly recommend.

And caretaker band great. Thank You!
Apple Podcasts5stuman914United States8 years ago - My review
I’ve subscribed to over twelve specialized neuroscience podcasts over the years. I can say without reservation (2019-01-16) that I turn to yours FIRST, as my most important and my most entertaining podcast. I even enjoy the music. I’ve learned to trust you guys so much that I’ve embarked on a journey to listen to every past show, even though initially it seemed of little interest. But the cochlear joke? I’ve HEARD quite enough of that lately. It SOUNDS to me like you need a new line.

Apple Podcasts5bahabwbUnited States8 years ago - Great
A great example of interesting and effective science communication!
Apple Podcasts5ibmootzUnited States8 years ago - So special
This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts! The hosts have conversations with some of the top working neuroscientists around. There's one interviewee per session so we get to hear not only about the surface level details of the work, but also a more human level of how (and why) the research was accomplished.
Apple Podcasts5slinkerleeUnited States8 years ago - Love your podcasts!!

Apple Podcasts5stacked thoughtsUnited States9 years ago - BEST EVER
I love this podcast!!!
The hosts ask great questions (not just about the research but about how the scientist got to where he/she is, etc) The podcast cover a wide variety of neuro research pretty in depth, but still manages to add hints of funny, which makes it even more fun to listen to than other science ‘casts out there
