  • Weirdly Fascinating and addictive listening

    Short, quirky, seemingly unlinked proven facts are woven together in a very relaxing, clever way.

    Your appetite is whetted at the start of each episode and the concluding summary is most helpful joining the facts together.

    I have laughed aloud every episode. I genuinely look forward to

    this podcast each week.

  • The human body, brilliantly explained

    One of the few podcasts that actually makes you smarter in ten minutes. Each episode turns some obscure bodily quirk into a gripping story. No fluff, no banter — just excellent science with dry humour and great storytelling.

  • Fascinating

    I am already developing an unhealthy curiosity for needing more content! These are facts that I needed to know but didn’t even know existed and are also from a trusted source - a doctor who is actually making concepts easy to understand. Looking forward to learning more as I listen on my commute.
