- A niche taste cooked to perfection
The most enjoyable way to engage with quantitative methods besides yelling into the ether about reviewer 2

United States5 months ago - the best
A great show that makes me laugh, think, and (sorry to report) also teaches me things. Yi Feng is *hilarious* and should be a special guest at least once per hour. Even the opening (clarinet? sorry, I do not know my woodwinds) music is nice.
Apple Podcasts5BMarstonUnited States2 years ago - The good, the bad, and the ugly
I often recommend this to other researcher friends and I feel like it’s the equivalent of saying, I read a paper and thought of you. Usually a few weeks later I get a text or email stating that my sense of humor is disturbing because I enjoy the humor in you podcasts so much. And then I ask what episode they’re on and they say season 2. So thanks, I look forward to Tuesdays’ and am reminded of my passion for research every time I listen.
Apple Podcasts5Alex ToniganUnited States2 years ago - A must listen for any quant researcher
Hilariously informative. Cannot recommend enough!
Apple Podcasts5Zach_Cooper#373United States2 years ago - We don’t deserve this
The amount of knowledge you two have is statistically significantly different than zero. I cannot thank y’all enough for this podcast. Looking forward to many more years of listening.
