LOVE IT. Really fun and engaging. As far as I can tell (as a definite non-scientist, with lifetime curiosity about science), very transparent and thorough with the numbers and quality of studies cited and/or critiques of those studies, all while keeping the POINT CLEARLY in view. Thanks Science Vs!

Podcast Addict52 months agoannarichey- Interesting topics but too chatty
I like the topics but there is far too much chit-chat, and laughing at their own jokes which is really irritating. After listening to the episode on narcissism, I decided to unfollow the show.

Podcast Addict53 months agoMcla- Too much unnecessary giggling
I’ve wanted to really enjoy this podcast. The topics are interesting and I’ve listened for a long time. But all the giggling from Wendy … giggling when there’s nothing funny. It’s distracting for me.
