Learn while being productive & entertained
I’ve learned valuable things (& entertaining trivial things) that improved my life and help reduce my environmental footprint while listening to this puncast doing chores and work. I find it helps keep me in a good mood even if I’m otherwise having a rough day.

Needs a different host
I fine this woman’s accent the most grating, irritating thing I’ve ever heard. It’s unlistenable.

Good show, tough listen
Love the subject matter, and great story telling, and great host, but the host’s voice is pretty hard on the ears. Way more vocal fry than I can handle. Something like gravel in a blender. Plus the ads also have a person made to sound like a small child reading them. I couldn’t stick with it.

Great show, please stop all the covid episodes
Love this show so much I re- listen to episodes, but PLEASE quit it with the covid episodes. We don’t need any more updates on covid, we get them from literally every news program, STEM related podcast and blog, general conversations, and all media I can think of. Sick to DEATH of covid, I listen to podcasts to get away from having to hear about it on infinite loop. You advertised months ago that we would get non- covid content, yet when I checked my episodes this week there was YET ANOTHER covid episode. Please stop you have more to offer than the same covid news everyone else is spewing. Other than the covid crap very fun and informative podcast.

Annoying Host
While the information was nice to hear, the host on the 2 episodes I listened to, Wendy I found to be extremely annoying. The poor production and additional similes and add in clips made this more annoying than the fun and quirky play she was attempting to make. It seemed faked and childish.

Conflicts of interest
I really like this podcast. It does a great job describe science and how it works. On the vaccine episode they talk about J&J vaccine and J&J is also a sponsor. I didn’t hear any disclaimer about it like NPR has. Do the sponsors have influence on the show?

She Blinded Me With Science
This show presents scientific facts with great delivery and the right amount of humor. I’m glad that they aren’t afraid to address controversial topics and offer conclusions that don’t necessarily correspond with the dictates of modern woke culture.

Love
I love the host and this show. Super entertaining. However...the Reparations episode has me screaming inside over the concept of “baby bonds”. Do any of the people who are excited about this idea know anything about child development and the effect of poverty on the developing brain and the future of children? Can you imagine worrying about housing, feeding, clothing, and keeping your toddler safe - let alone not being able to raise them yourself because you have to work 60-80 hours per week just to hang on the slightest bit - all while knowing that there’s money in a bond for that child that can’t be touched until poverty has already set them far behind their peers? For most people, no amount of money given in young adulthood could erase the disastrous effects that poverty has on a child. This seems beyond cruel. Why handicap an entire extra generation or two instead of giving reparations now?

Awful
I only listened to Guns, but it’s a textbook example of cherry-picked straw man arguments. One example: to debunk the claim that guns are useful defensively, the host cites one person’s erroneous claim that this happens 2 million times per year. If you believe that she “proves” the real number is 100,000, that does not subvert the original point. 100,000 is a much bigger number than I ever imagined, and I think makes the opposite case. The whole show is like that. I would recommend listening to this for the sole purpose of testing you’re ability to spot fallacious arguments. She does not demonstrate a single thing she claims to, and the only science here is the science of cognitive bias.

Grating voice
It’s an ok podcast. I find some topics interesting, though nothing revolutionary. What keeps me from subscribing or listening more frequently is the host’s voice. It’s not her accent; I’ve lived in Australia and normally find the accent pleasant. Rather, it’s the tone and pitch. It’s very grating and tough to have pulsing in your ears.

There are a lot of fads, blogs and strong opinions, but then there’s SCIENCE. Science Vs is the show from Gimlet Media that finds out what’s fact, what’s not, and what’s somewhere in between. We do the hard work of sifting through all the science so you don't have to. This season we tackle alcohol, fasting diets, DNA tests, race and the fertility cliff.
