- Very informative and relatable
I've always had a passive interest in neurology and biology and what better way to feed this interest than passively listening to a science podcast.

These ladies are amazing! They know their science and don't flaunt it. It's well researched and they all have great podcasts voices. There are some PC I had to stop listening to due to the voices, trying too hard, recording quality and content, but this one is high quality. Please keep producing!

I only listened to about 3/4 of the episode on GMOs but I had to stop because I couldn't take anymore "uh" or "um"s. Plus, unless they covered it in the last 4 minutes of the podcast, they completely neglected to address the biggest issue with GMOs, which is not their health effects, but their environmental effects. I won't be listening again.
Apple Podcasts1quitaskingmeforastupidnicknameUnited States13 years ago - Finally, science discussion for everyone!
I was hooked as soon as I started listening. I loved science growing up, but haven't been able to do or learn much of it since graduating from college. Thankfully, these 3 ladies are here to fill my brain with witticisms and knowledge!
Apple Podcasts5alexis ohanianUnited States13 years ago - Love this podcast!
I love the Perri Dish! These women take complex, controversial, current science topics and make them easily digestible for non-scientists in an unbiased, fact based way. Also they have wonderful radio voices that I don't mind listening to for long periods of time :) which doesn't hurt
