  • Such a delight to listen to!

    Helen and Liz are the perfect hosts! They have a great rapport, are so funny together, and are both so knowledgeable about their respective fields. I honestly have only watched a few episodes of the X-Files, but I love hearing their stories and thoughts so much that it’s a blast anyways! If you’re a fan of shows like My Favorite Murder, where the hosts’ personalities and storytelling really shine, I think you’ll like this one.

  • Bringing the Science of X-File to Life!

    Loved it! I kept trying to interject, forgetting I was not really there! You are both such brilliant scientist but still down to earth and you make the science fun and interesting. Now I want to watch it all over again with you guys! You made me think back to when I first starting watching X-Files. I was in junior high, my mom loved the show, so she let us all watch it. We would all pile in her bed (cause we were scared) and watch it together as a family! Can’t wait for the next episode!

  • Women Scientists are Rad Babes!

    Scully Effect in all it’s glory! I love that you guys bring your different scientific backgrounds to the table when dissecting (no pun intended) the episode! I have listened to a few X-files podcasts in my day, and this one felt like I was hanging out with you guys, who are now celebrities! Zach did an excellent job on sound and you guys were awesome! Looking forward to the next one!
