This podcast is the perfect mix between info and entertainment.

Sometimes they bring on a guest that brings another insightful perspective into the subject.
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!
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.
Great podcast with fresh creative content. The hosts keep the conversation informative and funny without making it feel forced. You need to have this added to your podcast listen list! - #ODPH
