    Great Podcast
    I adore this podcast! I love the balance between superheroes and science! Thank y’all for being great!

    So good, I wish it were weekly!
    Love the concept, great execution going between snippets of interviews and the hosts’ discussion of the points raised. The conversational nature including tangents is perfect for the podcast platform and makes it that much more enjoyable. Using superheroes and science fiction as a window to explore science and the natural world is a fantastic approach to educate and foster curious minds! (Anyone who says there is too much chit-chat is entitled to their opinion, but so am I and they are wrong! There’s plenty of just-the-facts science reporting out there, go listen to Quirks and Quarks. That’s a great show too, but this is serving a related but different niche.)

    Fantastic podcast for diving deeper into the nerd-verse
    So much fun to listen about these immensely intelligent people breakdown the science behind our favorite science-fiction. It takes a lot for me to listen to a podcast when I’m NOT on the road, but this has taken up most of my chill time and it’s totally worth it😄

    A nerds delight
    Oh hey! Do you love science? What about comics and sci-fi entertainment? Both you say?!?! Well my darling you have found a home here! I really love the concept of this show, bringing science to the masses through the entertaining media that saturates our society all while making science approachable and scientists incredibly lovable (cause let’s be real, scientists are some of the most crazy, fun, fascinating and thoughtful people anyone can ever have the privilege of meeting). I love this show and would love to see this approach to science brought into schools because, in my humble opinion, if we can make science more relevant to the experiences and interests of young people via the entertainment they love, we may spark more young minds to pursue the sciences and other fields and produce more educated citizens capable of making the complex decisions that will no doubt be placed before them. You guys are great and I await more episodes with all the eagerness of a hungry rat in a maze pursuing a delectable hunk of cheese.

    Perfect balance of science/superheroes!
    Really delightful, informative, and thought provoking content. Only problem is I can’t decide whether to binge or savor. Honestly I came to this for accessible science but am also enjoying learning about superheroes:)

    I absolutely love this podcast!!! Keep it up!
  • rayne211
    I need more!
    I only have one complaint about this podcast: I just want more episodes faster. I’m greedy, I know. But truly this podcast is very informative and entertaining. I love that the hosts are genuinely having conversations, even if they do get a little bit off topic. It feels natural. The science involved it’s so interesting to learn about. This podcast is fabulous!

    Yummy
    This podcast is like a science cupcake with nerd frosting. A tasty treat from a pair of master bakers.

    A different take on pop culture!
    Podcasts on superheroes and their various comics or movies are a dime a dozen, but these guys bring a totally different flavor. I come away from each ep with a different appreciation for both my beloved characters AND learn a crapload of science. Crapload a scientific word, right? I guess I should leave it to the experts. Keep em coming boys! Looking forward to more in season two.
  • ScooterHM
    I clap and smile every episode! More please!
    This intersection of science and comics is so beautiful. My brain sparkles and my imagination gets to run wild all at the same time. Can’t say enough good things. Happy Nerd!!! PS I ❤️ the minisodes format added to season 2!!! Woot!!!

    The perfect blend between science and popular culture.
    I love this podcast. I am a biology major and I am taking an evolutionary biology class, and this podcast helps reinforce some of the concepts covered in class, all while being entertaining and informative. It’s the perfect blend between science and popular culture.

    It’s a bird, it’s a plane! NO! Its TBOSP
    I love this podcast so much. Everyone they have on is super knowledgeable and they help keep us on the forefront of the best way we could possibly gain superpowers one day.
  • tersegal
    So excited it’s back!
    These are the kinds of discussions you wished comic book writers would have BEFORE they start writing.
  • BbbbTayBledsoes
    Great... but get ready to have to listen to chitchat
    It’s great but there is side chitchat not needed!
  • Jeslejos
    Nerds paradise
    This is so good, easy to understand even if you aren’t super smart. Love the merge between science and science fiction. Such a wonderful idea and so beautifully executed!
  • marysdaughter
    Fun and fascinating!
    A great way to highlight biological info.
  • LittleELK27
    Entertaining but a lot of sidetracking
    I enjoy the concept of this podcast but I find that there's a lot of sidetracked chit chat between the hosts that I find distracting and off-topic. (Like, with ep #9 almost the first 10 minutes are Star Wars vs. Star Trek discussion and when the hosts got into them. ) That's just not the information that I want to listen to. I wish they'd just get into it more!
  • BlaineJamesM
    Brilliant!
    Absolutely fascinating. Brilliant way to make science tangible and exciting to a greater audience! Can’t wait for more.
  • Hoyodewilkerson
    Super fun movie science!
    I discovered this podcast through This Podcast Will Kill You and I’m really glad bc it’s given me another science-based podcast to make me feel more like a bio major lol. It also makes my nerd heart soar
  • HCOscience
    Wonderfully nerdy
    A wonderfully nerdy blend of science, sci fi, and pop culture. I could listen to Dr. Shane (and his co-host and guests) for hours! (oh wait, I do)
