What a ridiculous episode. The fact that this is named “Scientific” anything belongs on South Park.

This version of the former 60 Second Science borders on banal. It use to give science not given on the 6 o’clock news. It used to inspire.

Short science stories told in a creative and efficient way. Highly recommend it.

I have been listening to this podcast for the last few years and truly enjoyed the little snippets of information they pack into each episode. In today’s “Your Health Quickly” Episode, I was disappointed to hear the name calling targeting two people as “anti-vaxxers”. Without actually researching the folks they “called out” (to see if it is indeed accurate), to understand their views, and perhaps even learn that at least one of them is NOT actually an “anti-vaxxer”, they followed the “mainstream narrative” and labeled them. The Episode still would have been just as informative if they left their names out. The information in the episode was timely and accurate about everything else. I would have thought name calling was beneath this good Podcast. You can do better.

This is a fantastic podcast with insightful science, good editing and thoughtful subjects. But, there is one crew that is unbearable: Tanya and Josh, the senior health editors are THE worst voice actors in the history of podcasts. Replacing them with an over-zealous and pedantic 4th grade theater student would be an upgrade.

I am amazed at how much information gets packed into each episode. This is one podcast that I listen to as soon as it arrives in my feed!

This is a good show. My only complaint is the hosts sound sooo scripted it makes me cringe.

Science in 60 seconds is exactly what is wrong with Scientific American lately. If you want fast food science just turn on the Discovery channel or pick up a copy of Popular Science magazine. The beauty of a podcast is that you can go as deep into the subject matter as needed and not be constrained by the clock. The content and the people bringing the stories are doing an great job, so let them keep going.

I like this show it is very short and to the point.

I like the information and the hosts. My main dislike of this podcast is it used t be super short and concise, a nice way to stay up to date on scientific things. Now it’s every other day and 10-15 min podcasts. I May stop listening regularly for this reason. Too frequent and too long for what I’m looking for.

In the “Thunderous Goose” episode, Flora states that humans have been in Australia for 50,000 years, but in reality, the evidence shows they have been living there for about 125,000 years and in North America for at least 23,000 years. Cancel this woebegotten purveyor of misinformation! Flora promoted a survey by Cambridge Analytica in the mid 2010’s which has been shown to be a honeytrap that manipulated voters to support the fascist GOP candidate in2016. I took part in that survey and feel Flora is a tool that has not addressed grievous transgression that compromised the integrity of the democratic process. You don’t mention that ratites are the oldest birds. Another reason to discount the information from this podcast. I suffered a lot of harm from your transgression and lost about $100,000 because of it.

The info presented in the various segments is fine. What I dislike is the juvenile way some presenters speak, as if they thought they were addressing 6 year olds.

Flora’s wit and insights make every topic on Science Quickly informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend this podcast and have missed Flora’s voice since ELT went to podcast heaven way too soon :)

Very informative, yet brief episodes that quickly draw you into a question, problem, ecosystem… I plan on exploring some ephemeral ponds near my home today because of the episode I just listened to!

Really informative, creative, and interesting. I especially love the AI episodes and the miniseries inside the larger show.

This is a great way to get a bite-sized dose of cool science. I particularly enjoyed the episode on AI in music.

The new format is terrible. The writing is inaccurate and childish. The show tries to be hip by talking about topics completely outside their lane. Armchair science at its worst. Also, the injection of politics into science is completely inappropriate, especially when the politics is so amateurish and out of touch. But what finally made me delete the feed was just how racist it has become. The episode on the Thai music composer was the epitome. Instead of introducing a form of music that most people weren’t exposed to and delving into it, the host for some reason kept making racist comments and stereotypes about the current musical landscape. On and on. I really wonder how the artist “featured” felt about having the episode about them turned into a self-indulgent racist diatribe. I know I would be peeved if it happened to me.

I don’t like to change the format. They’re going for cuteness. Silly Hass happiness. Talking down to the listener. Too much giggling. Especially in this last episode about animal communication. I’ll keep listening. But hope it finds a balance between what it was, and what it has become.

Your Health Quickly is a very informative show, well researched, and firmly rooted in the latest scientific findings. The show producers are very responsive to listener input. Audio quality of recent episode was great.

Seems to be more interested in saying, “Isn’t science fun!”, than imparting science. Haven’t enjoyed the relaunch and haven’t made it through the last two episodes, something that never happened with the old show. I can just picture the producer telling the talent, “Ok, sound happy and witty and like we are having the best time of your lives.” In other words sounds forced and contrived.

Even though shorter, the old version of the podcast had more actual science and facts in it. The new one is mostly devoid of the details and is pretty handwavy. It seems like the new one is targeting a completely scientifically non-savvy audience. But this is Scientific American! Give your audience some credit for knowledge!

Loving the relaunch of this pod and can’t wait to see where it goes. Great info, great hosts, and great fun!

So great to get such topical, entertaining and…also…SCIENTIFIC info so readily. Thank you for keeping me on my toes! (En pointe)

Surprising to learn the difference in the intent of the research vs. the spin put on it. And the degree to which we are influenced in matters relating to love & relationships. Thanks for this.

So excited for this reboot of SciAm’s podcast! The first episode with Shayla Love was fascinating. Can’t wait for more episodes!

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this podcast. I had heard about the set of questions on a story on NPR, but never really understood the study behind them. It’s great that someone figured out they were two sets and then SA did the podcast explaining the story behind them! another Trivia loose and tied up. Thank you SA!

Such an enjoyable listen! Jam packed with interesting information and quality guests. Can’t wait for more.

I finally unsubscribed to this podcast after many years. Very poor audio engineering. Guest audio is often too soft or outright unintelligible - some of that stems from choosing to have foreign guests with a heavy accent talk. Also too much liberal bias. It's gotten better since a certain someone has left office but you still hear left wing claims being made without counterpoints offered.

When I was an ordinary college student, I want to practice my English skills, someone at quora recommended this podcast, then I got a lot from this program. Now is 2022, 4 years later, although I didn’t listen to it everyday, it is still useful for me. And I’m going to learning in Canada in September, as a student whose native language is not English, I think I will love it forever.

Perfect short news stories for those wanting to stay up to date without reading every technology magazine and news paper.

I like the short little interesting science tidbits (when they are actually short. Some of the episodes drag on!) But the audio needs better editing. Guests are always too soft, and the music is too loud. Normalize and compress your audio so we don’t have to turn the volume up and down and up and down!

Every once in a while I found an interesting episode. I like that these are short. But the most benefit I feel like in from listening to these is the two week update of Covid information! That is great & easy to share!

Great ideas but bias.

The show is great for getting bite sized episodes of information

Amazing, but, can you guys put a little more NASA or Space news?

Octopuses ARE GREAT HUGGERS :)

The most recent episode I believe is basically called Humans can befriend wolfs can not download

Reverb, somewhat tinny. An inexpensive interview/conference type microphone could correct this.

..In the preview of the election coverage then brought on a bunch of one sided guests. Stay out of politics.

Not only is their personal bias evident in their tone, but the to be one sided “doom and gloom” view of a virus with 99.6% survival rate, and lack of discussion of riots/protests linked to covid shows how biased they really are.

I just came across this podcast by pure chance. Most of what I listen to is related to true crime so suggestions are usually related to that. I am soooo glad that we met. I love little doses of scientific facts. I can’t wait to share with my family and friends. Thank you!

Great topics and info. This earns a 5 star rating. Please stop the politics. That drops the rating down to a 1.

Mark Stratton’s voice is wonderful to listen to! But in my kitchen, I can’t really hear him amidst the normal kitchen sounds. Podcasts need to consider who consumes this particular media and how. When typical listener hits play, what else are they doing? Somebody who listens to 60-second science is likely busy doing other things. Is it about the voice talent? Or is it about the audience?

Really like this format, bringing new information about a diverse range of topics.

Love this podcast. Quick hits on quirky science. Good topics, pitched at a good level, well-written (and read).

I listen to this podcast for quick science hits to stay up to date with what’s happening in the science world.....not political opinions. If the political hits keep coming I’ll unsubscribe and find another podcast for my science needs!

Stick to the objectiveness that is inherent to science. No one listens to this podcast to hear about your political opinions. The “We’re Being Tested” episode was not science. It was political satire and not even very clever satire at that.

Please don’t speak about politics.

No politics!

I totally agree with the other reviews I saw related to the We’re Being Tested episode. I listen to this podcast purely for science and will not keep listening if it becomes a political podcast.
