ThunderfaceNot always scientificSometimes presents unscientific claims, but don't worry, these claims are highly attractive politically 🙄 I wanted a science podcast please.
-
It's All Gooey and StickyLove itI love the information. The current host is so cheerful.
-
MusicWhileIworkAlways fascinatingLove how a difficult topic becomes digestible in just a few minutes!
-
Anniesweets🧠Short and sweet. No dribble here
-
JJRROMIFried voice!!Creaky voice ugly. Lazy. Outta here!
-
BikemayerGreat information, grating vocal fryI really like the topics chosen and the length of these podcasts. I heard a news story a few years ago about vocal fry and I can’t I hear it now. It drives me a bit crazy how much vocal fry she has. Maybe she could do a podcast on the phenomenon of vocal fry.
-
0liveluluFYI astronaut wannabesI just listened to episode 355 about what it takes to be an astronaut. I noticed one requirement is passing a scuba diving test. Well, if you have asthma you cannot become scuba certified so if you have asthma you will not be going to space either; at least not as an astronaut.
-
iLoveToLearnGreat variety and well doneThank you so much for providing such great variety and depth. You usually (99% of the time) answer all my questions on the topic.
-
NeverReviewzToo many ads in short audio clipsGood for her, getting that money. However, it’s not awesome to listen to.

Magic WandaGreat !Great for information and fun to share

LaswagertyFun FactsThis is a fun quick podcast to learn something interesting!

nickname7474No longer a science podcastI use to enjoy this podcast, but it is no longer about science. It now uses science headlines to push political agendas. Believe me, I am am as worried as everybody else, but Don't want a full throttle assault at EVERY turn. There are plenty of political podcast. In fact, it is nearly impossible to to escape the toxic nature of political discussion today. Why can't I find an escape?
-
Joesen1What used to be...The content of this podcast is decent, but the advertisements last longer than the actual information output. If it lasts much longer, I'm not sure I'll be able to continue listening.
-
Benjamin SprinklesworthGreatOther than the terrible Bill Nye episode and Dr. Stierwalt's vocal fry at the end of every single sentence, this podcast is really good. (And I know women get more criticism for their voices on radio than men, so what I said might not be fair)
-
UnsubscriberUninformativeI followed the promotion to hear “Bill Nye’s Advice to Tackle Climate Change” and it was just him reading from his recent book. He tells how he flew (!) to China for a conference and is bothered by the fact that Chinese people want to use cars instead of bicycles to improve their lives. Curse them! They want to live like he does!
-
CoachWoterribleYou have Bill Nye for 8 minutes and all he does is plug his book. The host has is dry and the questions are amateur at best.
-
AliLaraGSimply great!When I started following this podcast it was hard to understand all that Dr Stierwalt says but it because I did not know nothing about science. Nowadays, this is a must-subscribe podcast if you are fan about learning how things work.
-
CharlesVashonFun for everyone!!Fun, fast science! Thank you for such a great podcast!
-
Weeeee yipeeeeeGreat stuff!This show is great! A cool new way to learn a bit of science.

Mitch-4Generally sound, but weird pronunciations of technical termsI areas that I know something about, Lee seems accurate and understandable. But I don't understand where he gets some of his pronunciations! E.g. right after a fine explanation of the parts of the term "polymerase" he continues saying it in a way that entirely obscures the "polymer-" in it. Also, 3 nucleotides can constitute a codon, not a codone (which starts to sound like the drugs hydrocodone and oxycodone!). If these are regionalisms, he needs to say something about it, like "Though I don't in general have a British accent, you might want to know that I trained in the UK and pronounce some terms in their way". (Also, please don't rely on online pronunciation generator sites that are merely algorithmic! Yes, you can find one or two that say pah-LIM-eraze, but that doesn't make it right.)
-
prasino4Frusturatingly grazes the surface, like many other a sceince podcastI am a fan of most of the Quick and Dirty Tips podcasts, and got this podcast recently, and started listening through. Terms are oversimplified at best, and jump wildly from topic to topic, without going deeper, as if the withheld information would be too much for the listener, opting instead for reductive unworkable metaphors. My stopping point came when I ran into "The Science of Violence" episode. This was just an opportunity for the podcaster to grandstand, and he knew it. He even discouraged dissension, with a vaguely saber-rattly tone toward the end. This entire podcast is not up to the standards of the other Quick and Dirty Tips podcasts I am subscribed to and love. Get rid.
-
wkaardalGood stuff.Great little science podcast. Pretty good at making complex issues simple and understandable. He also does a little skepticism if you're into that kind of thing.
-
UffernIncomplete, and wrong.I was a fan of this podcast until he discussed a topic that I am an expert in. His research was not complete, did not give the full story, and gave a wrong answer. No longer listening.
-
beacat11Finally! A fun and easy to understand science podcast!Most science podcasts are either really pedantic or really simplistic. That's why I was so THRILLED when Everyday Einstein came along. Dr. Lee Falin has the scientific chops but explains things in such a fun and easy way that I am never left confused or wondering at the end. I learn something new with every podcast and eagerly look for new installments. Thanks Dr. Failn! Keep 'em coming
