    Smart and funny
    I trust Sean more than Google. There, I said it. I mean it. But for real, I enjoy science, and I was a scientist for a whole three months (lab assistant) before realize I wasn’t good at it. The podcast explains complex concepts in an easy to follow way without talking down to the listener and making it fun. Thanks guys!

    These guys do a great job explaining topics in a way that’s entertaining. The digressions and references make the conversation more fun than a lecture. Subscribe now!

    These guys make diving into the ocean of science fun and hilarious. It’s a pleasure to listen to them as I waddle through my day. Perfect for commutes, background, or if you’re chilling on a pond!

    Lots of sciencey fun
    Petri Dish is the science podcast every consenting adult needs in their life! It's irreverent and hilarious. NSFW for sure, but in the best way possible. I've learned a ton from Sean and Nathan and look forward to hearing their jokes and banter every week!

    My favorite science podcast
    I'm a big fan of NPRs Radiolab and Shortwave, but Petri Dish is fun and accessible, and I appreciate that it's both in-depth and kind of freewheeling. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys talking about science.

    Great chemistry(pun intended)
    Sometimes being friends doesn’t translate into podcast but these guys are great!
