4.9 out of 5 stars from 50 ratings
  • This podcast is the perfect mix between info and entertainment. One host solidly explains the topic of discussion while the other asks all the questions a non science-y person would think about using incredible pop culture reference to some how translate the science into things more relatable and understandable. Sometimes they bring on a guest that brings another insightful perspective into the subject.

  • Smart and funny

    I trust Sean more than Google. There, I said it. I mean it. But for real, I enjoy science, and I was a scientist for a whole three months (lab assistant) before realize I wasn’t good at it. The podcast explains complex concepts in an easy to follow way without talking down to the listener and making it fun. Thanks guys!

  • Hilarious and informative!

    I was grinning within the first few seconds. Hilarious hosts who work really well together. I listened to 'Fungus: The Good, the Bad and the Zombie' and when Nathan (I think it was Nathan) burst into 'Under the Sea Plant edition', I burst out laughing. These guys make science fun. I learnt a lot and I think you will too if you listen to this pod. So fun and knowledgable.
