    Good show, a bit too much digression
    The hosts know their stuff and address interesting topics. However, I wish they would play it a bit straighter. Some of the humorous asides are distracting when you’re trying to follow the thread of the research in question, and they talk over each other a lot. I prefer to read the transcript.

    Good, data driven stuff
    Unlike any number of shows with the words “science” or “skeptic” in their name, this show really is interested in looking purely at what, if anything, current research says about topics of popular interest.

    Fewer digressions please
    Excellent skeptical review of research, especially in psychology. But it would be so much better with fewer digressions and jokes. Maybe their could be a edited version with a little less humor?

    Tried to love - the hosts are just too smug
    I really love podcasts like this but I can’t get through an episode of their smarmy, smug tone. If that’s your jam or you don’t mind - you’ll love this!

    Heavy and deep research - Explained simply
    The hosts dig deep into a single topic. They do an excellent job at sifting through studies that are not so rigorous, or perhaps flawed in some way(s). When if comes to controversial subjects, they are fair, and stick to what the science says. Love it.

    Science journalism par excellence, with funny accents to boot
    This podcast is like sitting at the dinner table with informed, careful, scientifically literate friends exploring an issue from many angles. With each episode, I learn a little more about the topic at hand or the trappings of science such as p values and sample sizes. But more importantly than the WHAT, I learn HOW to think critically about scientific work. As a non-academic who wants to develop my scientific muscle, just soaking up their intuitions about how to make sense of scientific output has been extremely valuable. The accents are great, too!

    Current yet timeless
    One of those shows I wish I had discovered years from now so I’d have a big back catalogue to binge. Ritchie and Chivers have great on mic chemistry. They discuss matters in simple terms without dumbing it down. Truly minds to be mined!

    Clear thinking on difficult questions
    The hosts of this show are both smart and dedicated to rational thinking - exactly who you’d want to hear discuss interesting, difficult scientific questions that have been the subject of much misinformation. Keep it up guys!

    Great science communication
    Enjoyable show about current scientific debates, conducted by two people who are frequently questioning their and others’ biases. Looking forward to more episodes!
