Popular Reviews of Science Vs

First off, I love Wendy Zukerman. She's funny, punny and just a delight in general. She is genuinely excited about the subjects and it's easy to hear. In my opinion, Wendy and her team are very good at triangulating the information and viewing the subject from different sides. This podcast is very insightful. Whether you're a kid or an adult, you'll be enlightened in many ways.

Sketchy science, propagating nonsense such as "mRNA vaccines don't affect fertility" when the FDA itself said they have not enough data - and it's completely obvious since there isn't enough time to know this. And that's just one example.The advice on that podcast episode kept me and my family from getting covid or treating it at home. Of course the Pfizer-linked team at science vs will do anything in their power to push for their masters.Also incredibly annoying voice. This woman just doesn't have the voice for radio.

They tackle some complex topics and make them entertaining, but I would prefer more science and less personality-based chatting.

I initially enjoyed listening but then started noticing a bias when addressing hotbutton issues, like climate change, gun violence, COVID etc. They would cherry pick their information to fit the PC narrative.

Extremely well-researched science podcast. Their current season is focused on COVID-19, but their back catalogue contains a lot of episodes on a wide variety of topics. They have discussions with top notch scientists from around the world and present the information in a very accessible way. There is a lot of production value (I've heard some people complain that it is over-produced or has too many sound effects, but it hasn't bothered me). I'm a scientist, and I've been impressed with both the level of scientific information being presented and how easy it is to consume.

My go-to science podcast! It's also a bonus that the host is an Aussie.

One of my favourite podcasts. Topics are wonderful and also the narration is just brilliant and the host has a lovely voice that calms your mind :)

There is nothing worse than something claiming to be based on 'science' when it is not. It uses 'citations' to hoodwink it's audience into thinking that they are 'scientific'. Yet the 'citations' they refer to are literally anything they have read or listened to. For example if they listen to Joe Rogan they will then reference his show as a 'citation'. So suddenly one podcast listening to another podcast becomes 'science'. They will even 'cite' the other podcast several times in order to increase the number of 'citations'. It is stupid beyond belief. They are leveraging off the brand/reputation of 'science' in order to push their own opinions and agenda. If they were regulated then they would be shut down or at least forced to not use the term 'science'. They are no better than a charlatan using a made up doctorate to pass off as a qualified medical doctor. With this sleight of hand in mind, Zukerman, with her intensely annoying voice becomes a dangerous quack.

You'll learn something new in every episode!

This podcast had become my favourite science podcast. I have been listening for a couple of seasons now and I always look forward to this one downloading. The peer reviewed references are something no other podcasts seem to do. Well done Wendy and Crew.

Wendy is an amazing host. And her show is extremely well researched. Only downside is the advertising choices.

This podcast was already in my sight before it was part of Gimlet and later Spotify. It's an interesting approach to scientific topics with the very enthousiastic Wendy as the host.Now that the episodes are not exclusive anymore for Spotify-listeners, it's again the podcast for which I automatically download and listen to the newest episodes.

I like the information, but the production is so noisy and frankly, distracting. I was trying to give it an honest chance until I got to an episode about the chiropractor where I was subjected to extremely visceral sounds of cracking joints, which just put me off.

The self-gratifying overuse of bad puns makes this really hard to listen to. I love relaxing listening to a health podcast, but I had to switch it off. Too much of an ear assault.

One of my favourites!

Like Bill Nye The Science Guy's old show, but for adults and focusing on controversial topics. Sometimes a little too wacky and overuses sound effects, but does a great job of covering complicated subjects in a way that's easy to digest and well sourced.

Listen, this is a great podcast up until the woke BS starts flying. It’s clear as time has went on that this podcast has moved away from pure science to left leaning garbage just like every other form of media. If we can keep out the left ideology, the woke culture, the BS….. this podcast would be perfect. Earlier days were amazing, I love science, so how about keeping it strictly to what science says and what science is about. Stop trying to cater to everyone’s stupidity and worrying about offending someone. Science doesn’t make friends or enemies, it doesn’t offend to hurt or glorify to kiss ass. It just is…… you will get 5 stars when I stop hearing about the aforementioned issues in my eyes. Truly love the rest of the podcast meat and potatoes, wonderful!

Sometimes conclusions don't match the data. I'd appreciate just the facts and not guessing conclusions.

Perfectly bite-size science, highly entertaining and well researched. Loves how it challenges old "truths" and goes to the bottom of what modern Science really has to say about it from an objective standpoint. Also- I love Wendys silly jokes and gorgeous accent.

They do a great job of packing a lot of info into a short period & for the most part keeping it interesting 🧐
