Very good! Just discovered. Science with heart.
Magical podcast
Jul 6
I just listens to the magical world at the oceans edge episode. I just want to stop by to say that it was such a wonderful story. I haven’t been moved like that by an Unexplainable ep like this before. The ocean is so important to me and Byrd’s personal experience really resonated with me, but it was more than that that made this ep special. The storytelling was fantastic. The scientist guy who was featured mid way through brought a fantastic and complicated perspective and the audio editing pushed it all over the edge for me. So well done.
Great brain food

Each episode is very well crafted. It’s a perfect dose of science for a workout or commute.
Great show kids,

Yes the hiccups episode was a bit playful. Perhaps the sound effects were overdone. But week after week the content is fresh and the guests are fascinating. Unexplainable is a thought provoking, interesting and engaging podcast. Not bad for a preteen production. Thanks for the great work.
neanderTalls”
Jun 29
girl why are you saying neanderthal like this and not only that but saying it 56 times in the first 5 minutes. it’s literally so grating and even the other host the first thing he does is laugh at how youre saying it and points it out bc of how awkward it is!!! he can hardly focus on what youre trying to explain bc it’s SO weird. i feel like i can’t possibly be the only one who’s absolutely flabbergasted at your lack of self awareness and lack of vocab/grammar skills. the redundancy here takes front and center stage, taking all the attention away from the topic at hand. which is truly unfortunate! but i truly feel if she ran through this beforehand or stopped to think about how she’s delivering this way sounds to the listener bc i have never heard anything like it. (which is saying a lot bc ive listened to podcasts non stop for the last like 8 years!) so hopefully my point is made 🤣 but i don’t mean to come off as mean or harsh. im sure this wasn’t her intention but if you’re going to talk for ten minute straight about something please take a moment to think about your delivery, your wording etc. ruined the entire episode and dont have the mental capacity to even consider another episode. saying a word over and over to the point of creating accidental comedy is easily avoidable if you are even a little bit aware of things.
Pregnant PEOPLE?
Jun 25
I don’t think we have anything to learn from someone who doesn’t understand that only women can be pregnant…..
Maybe rethink some sound effects

The bug episode was misophonia’s worst nightmare.
Lots of politics
Jun 21
Clearly supporting one side and not the other The NIH episode is prime example but there are others…praising Covid vax and vilifying crackdown fraud and abuse that reigned in government for too long; just because this guy didn’t like oversight of absurd spending
Political Undertones
Jun 3
I’m detecting political undertones in more and more episodes. I’ve listened to every episode and don’t like this sort of nonsense. If it continues I’ll probably just move on. I’ve dropped several podcasts in the past for the same thing. I have too many to keep up with without political views.
Emily Oster is not a public health expert
May 27
She’s not a scientist or a physician or someone with any sort of expertise about medicine. She’s an economist. There are thousands of public health experts out there who would have loved to talk with your podcast about fluoride. Many of them are out of work now because of the anti-science skepticism that no one has pushed harder or more successfully than Dr. Oster. You. Don’t. Have. To. Talk. To. Her. Her talent isn’t in science or public health — it’s in repackaging fringe anti-science theories under a veneer of respectability. She “just asked” so many questions about COVID that she personally shaved many, many hours off of my life. My fellow public health experts and I wasted so much time and effort trying to correct misinformation that came directly from her keyboard. We always knew when it was her. Now she’s just asking questions and legitimizing some terrible ideas about fluoride. As far as I know, there is no law that requires you to ask Dr. Oster her opinion about anything. Get this troll out of the mainstream and back under the bridge she came from.
