  • Inspiring!

    I am in the process of interviewing and choosing a school to do my PhD and have had a lot of traveling! As a future ologist, this podcast has inspired me in learning so many new things, with plenty of laughs along the way.

  • My favorite escape

    When the other podcasts in my feed are just too grim, Allie’s there to lift me up. I love that I can laugh and learn something awesome. I now always have something to chat about notwithstanding my late stage COVID social awkwardness. And I love that we can make it a family affair with Smologies. I’ve never written a podcast review before but I can’t think of a better one with whom to start (and probably end) my reviewing career.

Just learned about near death experiences, which both moved and reassured me about end of life stuff. (Although I do wish she’d asked if, during your split-second li... more

  • I’m a great mom…

    My kids (ages 5, 8, and 10) love the smologies episodes, and beg to listen to the “E episodes, mom!” I finally relented, after which my kindergartner walked into his class and announced “did you know crabs have TWO PENISES!” Cheers to you, Alie Ward 🍻
