  • Fantastic Show

    This podcast series is fantastic. It’s a great blend of cutting edge, technology, science, and exploration. It goes deep enough to provide firm foundation of understanding the topic. But not so deep that the listener gets lost in the details specific to the given topic. Much appreciated!

    Not a lot of critical thinking or balanced analysis in the episode I listened to. It seemed more like cheerleading.

  • informative and fun

    I have been listening to and enjoying The Future of Everything for a couple of years now. The premise of the podcast, interviewing world-class researchers on their work by an engaging and deeply informed host is fantastic. Russ does his homework by reading the interviewees’ papers ahead of the time, ask strategic questions to steer the conversations, and inject humour to lighten up the subject. I learned new things each time I listen to a podcast and would recommend it to everyone.
