  • Most excellent

    Always entertaining, frequently heartwarming, occasionally existentially terrifying, educational madness. The only place to hear unique phrases, such as “gamete confetti cannon.” I have loved every minute of this.

  • Science and joy

    This podcast is the antacid for my existential dread. Sometimes work is really rough and tedious and listening to all these different guests that are so enthusiastic about their specialties is always a good reminder of the joys and wonders of our world. more
