Love this podcast, always my top goto when I have to drive somewhere. I download a few at a time. I learn so much, so many topics, entertaining, great asides. A favorite, may it go on forever because I will never get tired of it.


 Aug 17, 2024
I love the science and would appreciate less of the lecturing. I've listened to all of Alie's husband's podcast and align with his mindset so I find Alie's own often preachy and prescriptive views both jarring and hypocritical.

I went to go see the eclipse because of this podcast. It was a welcome bit of perspective after our family cat suddenly died. Text your crush, cut bangs, take the drive to see a life changing spectacle of nature. Thanks Alie <3 <3

Description

Volcanoes. Trees. Drunk butterflies. Mars missions. Slug sex. Death. Beauty standards. Anxiety busters. Beer science. Bee drama. Take away a pocket full of science knowledge and charming, bizarre stories about what fuels these professional -ologists' obsessions. Humorist and science correspondent Alie Ward asks smart people stupid questions and the answers might change your life.
