They interview overall some good scientists and thinkers who speak well for themselves and their ideas, I have no criticism really. A bit plodding but good for lay audiences maybe not for me. However they made a serious lapse of judgement when they interviewed Alina Chan. I have not idea of their motives for doing so when there were several better qualified and reliable biologists and virologists who had done direct work on the topic for some time. I won’t obviously spell out the whole scientific critique of Chan here. Maybe I would have had less disquiet had they at some point interviewed one of the main body of virologists who actually worked on the issue of the proximate origin. Notably Eddie Holmes or Kristian Anderson. Both of whom are subject to steady harassment now that the conspiracy theories around the Lab are believed by 2/3rds of Americans. The topic is not somehow avoided as these podcasters suggest either. You never hear the end of it actually. I won’t listen to them again myself since, frankly, I don’t trust their judgement.

This podcast is the biology podcast that I always wanted. Great and curious hosts, who interview not only biology scientists, but anthropologists, philosophers of biology, etc. most episodes are also transcribed in their website and they interview fantastic guests!

with so much changing and so much at stake, we need scientists who care about the future of our global community. this podcast is essential listening for those who want to better understand where we came from, where we are in this chaotic moment, and how to affect transformative change in the future. these guys care and, frankly, entertaining. that matters. we need complicated information presented in a consumable, actionable way. congratulations. a must listen.

Great work, keep it up

Always fascinating, with a broad range of topics, engaging guests, and polished, consistent, no-frills production. Art and Marty ask the right questions and keep a perfect pace so that I can keep up but not have my mind wander.

This is a fabulous podcast full of ideas and science to make you consider the world anew. Highly recommend!

Great podcast. I got hooked on the multiple origin of life episodes - they were excellent! Also plenty of great developmental biology content. They bring in excellent guest researchers. Also, I do love Art and Marty’s curiosity and genuineness.

I never went to college, I never took a biology class, I just look stuff up online and watch a ton of documentaries. I get almost all of what they are talking about. I overlooked this podcast for a long time because I thought I wouldn’t understand it. I am so glad I tried it out.

Each podcast is scientific enough to teach me things and basic enough that I can understand the minute details of concepts they discuss. They keep the podcast to the point, but it always feels natural and like the guests are comfortable. Their excitement for biology is easy to hear and makes the podcast absolutely lovely to listen to. Can’t stop recommending it!

One of the things I like best about listening to the scientist interviews is the last question inviting the scientist to talk about any subject that was missed or add any point that they want to make. The science is engaging, often fascinating, and I look forward to the next episode.

This podcast is informative and engaging for biologists and non-biologists alike. Covers a wide-range of topics with a heavy focus on one of my favorite topics EVOLUTION

This podcast takes heavy, complicated topics and opens them up to anyone with basic scientific understanding. Perfect for learning something new on the morning commute!

Well-informed, interesting, and entertaining conversations from engaging hosts and guests about important and upcoming topics in biology that are as relevant now as they ever have or will be. A great way to incorporate biology into your everyday life.

They cover an essential concept each show, with experts giving plenty of interesting detail to open your mind to their field of study. Listen up!

Art and Marty are so hot right now.

Can't wait for the other episodes to come out! Accessible biology converstations, highly entertaining, what more could you ask for?
