  • Meh - not my cup of tea

    There is a fine line between attacking ideas and attacking the person and this podcast often falls on the wrong side. The hosts are very harsh going so far as to condescendingly rip into a listener who left a 2 star review (episode 89). Getting rid of the snide comments and giggles would go a long way to removing the "mean girl" vibe.

    And while I am writing a review, this quote has bugged me since I heard it in episode 110:

    “It's interesting because I hear people say, I feel during ovulation,... more

  • One Star

    I was really disappointed to hear your approach to questioning Dr Stacy Sims on the episode I’ve just listened to. I think there is a way to question a peer without turning into ‘mean girls’, laughing and ridiculing. I was curious to hear a difference in opinion but I didn’t find that from your podcast, only an immature approach to someone you don’t align with and differs from what you believe yourself.

  • The hating has gotten tedious

    I absolutely believe these two do their research and have a lot of knowledge, but they have also begun to reek of “we’re the only ones who know anything.” I enjoy some critical discussion, but theirs are so critical as to sound snarky and mean girly. I’m too old for this.

  • Valuable information

    I’ve learned a great deal from this podcast and have recommended it to others. I will say at times it’s a bit tedious and hard to stay engaged, but I appreciate the citing of specific research, so I understand the balance needed to accomplish this goal. A small “nit” is at time they are a little too “cute” and I think at times it undermines their message. Again, a small concern because some level of humor makes a challenging topic more engaging. Overall a great resource

  • Live, Love, LIFT, LEARN

    Movement Logic: Strong Opinions Loosely Held has become one of my go-to podcasts. The hosts are whip-smart, funny, and deeply informed — their episodes are grounded in solid research and up-to-date information, AND still feel approachable and real.

    Some episodes run long, but that’s because they dig in where others skim the surface. I especially appreciate how supportive they are of women lifting weights and getting stronger post-menopause. Their discussions make it clear that strength isn’t jus... more

122: A Science Communicator Explains Pseudoscience, with Dr. Joe Schwarcz, PhD
Q: What are two or three important questions for the layperson to ask when they see a new claim about something?
Where does the information come from? Was it in a peer-reviewed journal or in a report of a peer-reviewed journal, or did you see a reel on Instagram?
122: A Science Communicator Explains Pseudoscience, with Dr. Joe Schwarcz, PhD
Q: Dr. Schwarz, why do you think that pseudoscientific health claims tend to spread so effectively, even among educated and well-intentioned people?
Because they're seductive. What they propose are simple solutions to complex problems. That is a very seductive thing. It's very alluring to think that you can just pop this pill or take that dietary supplement.
