I would even go so far as to say that it is the best listening out there. I find the information they present really entertaining. It is presented in a form that is easy to understand and follow without feeling like they are talking down to you or treating their audience like kindergartners. I think Calli and Nate are incredible cohost and they work really well together. It’s obvious there is an actual friendship there. With the all the driving around I do and all of the mundane tasks I find myself doing around my home, Curiosity Daily is the best way I know of to help the time go by faster and leave me feeling better informed. Thank you so much & keep up the good work Calli, Nate and Discovery Channel! You are awesome!

Fun, funny and full of fascinating facts! It should be on everybody's morning list. Plus, it appeals to all ages. Keep up the great work!

I loooooooooove this podcast

Yes!!!

Please stop the incredibly annoying joking. Interesting facts but I can only listen occasionally because the dialogue is so distracting!

Unbearably corny. The information is interesting, but the attempt at humor completely ruins it.

..but, Cody and Ashley were better. I don’t fault the new hosts. I suspect that Discovery did everything it could to conjure up what it thinks the audience would want the best a soulless corporate monolith could. What we ended up getting is an over-acted, cheesy, and just overall insufferable version of what once was. Like a mom who still thinks she’s cool. Ashley and Cody provided a much more natural flow and charm that didn’t come across as pandering to the audience. If you’re new the show, you may like it. But, if you’ve been around awhile, I’d be shocked if you’re still listening.

Unfortunately I too will have to unsubscribe to the podcast after years of being a faithful listener. The climate change narrative is woven into every possible corner of this podcast. It is no longer a podcast where your “curiosity” is truly peaked “daily” by listening to stories and summaries of ground breaking or interesting research.

I hate that I’m writing a negative review for this podcast, I used to love it. Cody and Ashley were so great and natural. The new hosts sound like they’re overacting with every word and inflection and reaction. NOTHING feels natural, and it’s just so annoying. Maybe they can’t help it because the script is so terrible and they’re doing the best they can, but I just can’t anymore. I would like to keep listening because of the content, but it’s just not worth the cringe factor. ukh. Have to unsubscribe unfortunately.

I like the content they discuss, but the back-to-back dialogue is super cheesy and full of cliche one liners.

Love the bite sized information. The forced patter is super distracting. Maybe it’s aimed at kids.

I liked it better when it was them. I mean this is okay but I liked them better.

This was part of my flash briefing but hasn’t been available for several days… why not?

I listen to this podcast because it actually does have interesting science stories. However, I would never tell anyone I know that I listen to it. They would think I’m just a stupid person. One of the hosts continuously dumbs down her speech and uses “I mean“ extraneously in almost every sentence. Sometimes she says it twice in one short sentence. It’s clear she’s trying to seem “cooler“ than the average science enthusiast – which doesn’t make sense, because anyone who would listen to this podcast already thinks science is pretty cool. She’s not going to lure non-sciency people to the show by talking like someone waking up on the floor of a frat house.

I saw this podcast shared on Apple News and was so excited to see that my condition was being talked about!! I have suffered from endometriosis (and adenomyosis) for most of my life and yet no one knows about it. Two minutes into the episode and I was disappointed. Again. There is so much misinformation of this illness, even on government and medical websites. Please speak to excision specialists and the people who suffer from it, like me, to verify your information. Endometriosis has been found in cis men, as well as women whose uterus never formed. In girls before their period begins and in women who have gone through menopause. Because of this, the theory of retrograde menstruation simply cannot be true. The most current research suggests that endometriosis begins forming while we are still in utero. I am happy to see that endo is getting more attention, but misinformation is partially the reason we go undiagnosed for an average of 6-10 years and why so many of us receive less than adequate care from doctors who are just as misinformed as the general public.

I have listened to every episode. Thank you for covering tirzepitide for weight loss. I went to a weight mgmt clinic and was started on it and I have lost 60 pounds! I never know what I’m going to learn. Keep up the great work!!

This is my favorite podcast!!

This podcast always satisfies my nerd side in few minutes. Thanks guys for producing such an amazing podcast! Keep it moving 💪

The new hosts style is a series of puns that make dad jokes look good. Within 2 weeks of the new hosts, even my kids asked to stop playing it. Their bad humor and fake feeling chemistry distracts from the interesting science. The show would be better if they just reported on science and cut out the jokes. This podcast is sinking fast. Listen to the reviews and change direction fast.

This is a fun show and I love the content. They did a wonderful segment about Down Syndrome that was great to share with a momma of an amazing little girl. Thank you for your positive comment about DS being neurodivergence and not something that needs a cure! It is the truth and needs to become main stream.

I love how the two of you interact you guys can make me smile even on a bad day and I’ve had some pretty low day lately. I love the way you present the information! Definitely five stars I’d give you guys 10 if I could. It was difficult for me to find the place to rate the podcast I’m almost 50 and this is my first iPhone I’ve always had android.I would have given you guys five stars weeks ago! Again Thank you I really love the content and the delivery, and you two are just perfect !!!

I like the topics and the research is informative but the new hosts are way too cheesy. It’s so bad that I usually can’t get through 1 episode. If I really want to hear a topic I skip to it. I’m sure they could be great but they really need to speak to adults. This is a clean podcast but it is not supposed to be directed toward children. They really sound like they belong on Sesame Street.

I still have not warmed up to the new hosts. I miss Cody and Ashley. They were quirky and it never felt like they were reading a script. It felt like they were having a conversation. New hosts are just not good. I have tried to get used to them but I mostly do not want to listen to new episodes. I like the content, but the hosts are so important and these two do not work.

I am sorry but since Curiosity Daily has changed their team it is just not the same anymore. The new hosts are trying so hard to copy Cody and Ashley but you just don’t get it right. You’re not funny, the way you guys present is super dry and it’s very hard to listen to you without spacing out. I miss the last team because it was so easy and refreshing to listen to them. It was fun to learn something but unfortunately not anymore.

Interspersed with annoying naïve banter

This podcast bills itself as a daily podcast when in fact there’s only three new episodes per week. If you have a podcast routine on Google home as I do that means you’re listening to repeat episodes for most of the week.

Loved this podcast with the original crew. But when this new crew of cast and writers took over I found myself turning it off more than turning it on. The script is stilted and fake feeling. And I’m really tired of listening to “Explorers” tooting their own horns. I loved this podcast originally for its coverage of peer reviewed studies that were interesting. Now even on wed, we’re getting edited pieces of the Friday explorer stories instead of science content. Sad. This podcast has def gone from 5 to 3 stars. Now to find a different way to entertain my mornings with science.

I thought it was just me... But seems like a lot of people are having a hard time with the new hosts. I tried my best giving it a shot. But it just doesn't have the same feeling. It doesn't seem natural and yes, cringy at times. I guess I'll just enjoy the old episodes and other podcasts.

I understand the hosts are trying to make learning new facts, interesting but they need to stop trying so hard. I just picked up this cast and could barely get through an episode because of the lame humor. Stop it. I felt this podcast was made for preteens and younger. Too silly and irritating for me, I’m out.👎

still listening to older shows to catch up. its my go-to podcast while walking the dog. I learn some really awesome things about every science imaginable even though I am no spring chicken. Love, love, love it. The corny jokes have grown on me and I no longer groan (see what I did there....)

The content is good, but the banter is so annoying that I don’t know if I can keep listening. An occasional joke is fine but these guys try to make a bad joke with every line they speak. Please stick more to the content!

I stumbled upon this podcast and I like it. Quick bites of science. I like that the references are sourced in the notes so I can read more if I want. The banter between the hosts is a little hokey.

I couldn’t even get through my first episode of corny jokes badly done and another man condescendingly explaining things to a women who is acting stupid. I love science podcasts but I won’t be subscribing to this one.

Please stop “trying” so hard to be “funny”, coz the jokes are so lame, those are so forced, and don’t show characters of the casts or their personal hobbies. It used to be a charm of the old crew, especially cody, coz we knew his jokes are written/ made by him, from the things he’s really passionate about, like marvel heroes.

I love this podcasts and I don’t mind the new hosts but the jokes are forced and juvenile and I can’t handle it. A joke isn’t necessary every other sentence. Lose the lame jokes and just be real. The content itself is interesting enough.

I used to be a daily listener for the longest time. The new crew (2022) is as if talking to children listeners, and i’m not sure even kids would appreciate the forced dumb-down goofy dialogue. It’s an UNFOLLOW path for me at this point, unfortunately.

This podcast had the potential to be one of my favorites, lots of useful cool info. But I physically cannot listen to it because I cringe so hard at the forced “silly goofy 🤪” humor, think a 12 year old first discovering what puns are. Honestly the worst part isn’t just the jokes, it’s the forced laughter right after the joke as they lead into the next segment. Makes my skin crawl lol. But the hosts are both great and interesting to listen to otherwise - please stick more to the info, and just be more genuine / less forced with the humor, and I bet you’ll have more followers!

Always love the information. The new hosts are just too awkward and force too many things. For having a previous show together, they just do not sound great. Sorry but unsubscribing.

The show continues to be as entertaining with new hosts as it was with the old house but the cutesy banter is getting to be too much and too juvenile. Please tone it down. It almost becomes nauseating at times.

The new hosts sound forced, tinny, and trite. It does not make any sense why Cody and Ashley were replaced. I love the format and the content but I don’t enjoy the changes AT ALL.

Ashley and Cody were this show. It’s a shame that Discovery got rid of them only to keep this show going with some “sound-alike” hosts. I don’t know what went on behind the scenes here, but the outcome is this show ain’t what it was and idk if these new hosts are the right fit. They’re too similar to Ashley and Cody and for a rebrand like this I’d have preferred that they changed the entire format.

So frustrated and sad that they replaced BOTH the hosts with people who sort of sound like them. No info online about why this happened. The script was choppy and sounded fake and poorly acted. Couldn’t even listen to a full episode. So disappointed.

Tuned in because of Nate & Calli and already really enjoy it just from one new episode. Will likely listen to the back catalogue and excited for N/C to put out more new episodes.

I listened to this show nearly every day. Cody and Ashley were pretty decent hosts. I didn’t love every joke by any means, but I liked their authenticity and what they were going for. Plus, the information was always great. You could tell there was a passion there. Then, Discovery got rid of them for seemingly no reason and did a horrible job communicating that with listeners. Now, a new trailer is out and I can’t imagine listening ever again. It sounds beyond terrible. It’s artificial, overdetermined, and generally just bad. It’s obvious the new team behind the show has no idea what makes a good podcast. Seems to me Discovery should stick to TV and get away from audio.

This show was great when it was Ashley and Cody. Then one day they were gone with promises of new episodes from Disocovery. Months later we got our taste of the new hosts and I’m not impressed. The new hosts are trying to hard to be Ashley and Cody in the preview episode. Their banter, wordplay, and jokes feel forced. Cody and Ashley had a natural cohost chemistry going back and forth and it can’t be replicated by two new hosts trying to follow their forum ups. This felt like someone made a script based off what they thought Ashley and Cody would say and gave it to two people with instructions to try and be a poor man’s copy of them. If Discovery really wants to keep this podcast they need to let these hosts do their own thing. Having them copy and sound like Cody and Ashley is poor formula for retaining listeners who spent hours listening to Cody and Ashley. I’m pretty sure the writing is on the wall this this once great podcast is now a shadow of itself. Such a bummer to see from a once quality show.

This used to be a great podcast - one of my favorites that I listened to every day. Then along came Discovery. First it was more and more ads. Then they laid off creator Cody Gough and longtime host Ashley Hamer. Now it is nothing but reruns with promises of new episodes soon. As far as I’m concerned they should just let it die a peaceful death because it’ll never be the same show without Cody and Ashley. Thanks, Discovery, for taking something great and ruining it!

Information is great, but Cody acts like a 12 year old.

The info is still great, but it’s not as good with only one host. The chemistry between Ashley and Cody was a huge draw for the show. Jokes don’t land in a monologue with no audience or co-host.

Been a fan of the show, it’s a real let down to see the host go.

Learning something new every day AND the hosts are absolutely hilarious and delightful!! Such a joy to listen and learn :)
