  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.
