- Educational, but one thing bugs me.
I love learning new things and if you do too then this podcast is for you. The one thing that bothers me is whenever they talk about religion or God, I feel as if they're talking down to people who believe in a higher power and not just science. Now I don't have a problem with them talking about if they believe in God or science, but I don't enjoy when they make jokes about people who believe in God. This doesn't happen often so it's not a huge deal, just something that I noticed. Other than tha... more

Apple Podcasts5Hairless_otterUnited States11 years ago - My Favorite Podcast!
I absolutely love this podcast! it's hilarious, educational, and the hosts get along great! This podcast deserves such a larger following than it already has, and I would love to see some Universe City merchandise soon! My personal favorite episode is "Vote or Buy (U$ Public Policy)" . I've listened to all of their episodes, and I love every single one! My favorite host is Raj, but Jono and Joe are still amazing (I guess). I will certainly write my local rich person and recommend this podcast (a... more

Love this podcast. Found it because I'm a big fan of Joe Zimmerman, but all hosts are great.
Apple Podcasts5EasyTripleUnited States11 years ago - Funny + smart = awesome
Looking forward to a long-term podcast relationship with these three hilarious and intelligent dudes. Keep up the good work. Love it!
Apple Podcasts5JazzytuckUnited States11 years ago - Smart, funny, non-arrogant trio
Cool science. Nice humour. It’s like “We Have Concerns” (a podcast I love) with more scientific grounding because of the Microbiology and Neuroscience PhD. Joe Zimmerman, the third host, does a great job of being the surrogate audience member, so that all the explanations are clear. I love the analogies they make to their own lives and with other concepts that we understand.
Apple Podcasts5Axon KUnited States11 years ago - Great, Science-y, Anytime Laugh
This is a great podcast for the morning when you're sleepy: a funny science-y wakemeup, for the commute to work: a good educational laugh on an otherwise dreary drive/ride, or even something good to listen to hanging out at home. Always a sure fire conversation starter for my friends at night.
Joe, Jono, and Raj have great chemistry. I hope the Great Trio goes on to record a full set of 2015 episodes. Thanks guys!
Apple Podcasts5bkmobUnited States11 years ago - Charming science

Apple Podcasts5Kaytlin BaileyUnited States11 years ago - Funny and Educational!
Discovered Joe Zimmerman on his Comedy Central half hour and have been a fan since. Jono and Raj are super smart and the three have great chemistry. They make science really easy to understand and make you laugh along the way. Love this show!!!
