Discussing facets such as the split nature of human consciousness, the historic vilification of the goat, and the future of floating cities above Venus, this is by far my favorite podcast. The hosts are genuine people with a true curiosity for the topics that make life interesting. A must listen for anyone invested in the study and practice of the nerdly arts.

For love of ideas and curiosity and asking what if

I discovered this podcast at the begining of the year and I love it. Joe and Robert explore science and technology and monsters and movies and books and I am here for it all. They have inspired me go to research some topics in more depth and they have introduced to the Ig Nobel awards and other brilliant sciency concepts and events.
My favorite episodes are probably the halloween themed ones because I have found it fascinating to explore monsters and myths from other cultures and link them to science discoveries or current research. They have actually made monsters fun for someone who isn't very fond of them.
Super recommended, I am like 500 episodes in and they haven't dissapointed me yet.

These guys are amazing

After having listened to every single episode of this podcast, and many of them repeatedly, I cannot think of any way to limit my compliments and exclamations other than to say if you don't like listening to these guys you are either brain dead or boring and unworthy of their brilliance!!! Seriously though, they'll take any topic and explore the heck out of it in ways you didn't know anyone could or should. For example, the sinister truth about those cute little woodland creatures in your own backyard, the fantastical monsters you never knew you should fear (respectfully so), the funky fun movies you'll be glad you never watched but heard described so well and everything else they explore will make the rest of the world's mind numbing garbage fall away. You'll find yourself clicking refresh on your screen trying to force the next episode to appear because it is THAT addictive. Rob and Joe and Seth make me smile, laugh and sometimes cringe at the interesting facts they bring into my life and I am even willing to labor through the irritatingly, oversaturated IBM sponsorship stuff knowing it keeps them employed. :p I have tried other podcasts but this is my forever favorite and it can be yours too so go head, click on it. You know you want to.....

Scintillating and Never Disappoints
