    Listening while I run!!
    When I go on runs, I have this podcast in my ears. Now we are in Wales for my husband to study gravitational waves physics at Cardiff University. I wish I could come meet you in person! I also love forcing my kids to listen 🥰

    i love this podcast
    This is the perfect podcast to fall asleep to/relax to. The conversations are very interesting and make you feel smarter -- it doesn't condescend you but explains the concepts and research in accessible ways. The interviewers are intelligent and fun, and I enjoy the personal questions they ask the interviewees as well. I enjoy the subject matter a lot, and I like the vibe of this podcast. I haven't been able to find a similar one like it. I wish it updated more frequently, but each episode is worth the wait.

    Great podcast!
    If you’re into paleontology, you’ll love it!

    Informative, Diverse, serious yet not heavy
    I am late to the party but thrilled I got here. I started at episode one from Years ago and am going all the way through. Absolutely wonderful. They go deep in a thousand directions... depending upon who is there. I THOUGHT I was most interested in Silurian things but in fact I just hadn’t had the benefit of this this spectacular “survey.” I never know where we are going next. Thank you for your efforts. Small point: clearly technology has changed in the last 8/9 years (2012 to 2020). We can hear them getting better at this. Put your feet up. Open the website and look at the supporting materials (amazing) and press play.

    Love this podcast
    This podcast offers a great way to enjoy the “art” and science of paleontology.

    Great podcast!
    I’m a high school bio teacher and I’m getting a lot out of this podcast

    Keep up the great work, well done!
    I no longer listen to podcast on Apple but I love this one so much I came back here to write this review! It is that great!

    “Paleontology is for the white man”
    On the most recent podcast this moronic phrase came out of the snot dribbling fool of a host. How about you shut your mouth and stop playing identity politics you ignorant pig. So what paleontology is not a pizza pie of diversity. God you people ruing everything. I can even enjoy dinosaur bones without you SJW MANIACS trying to infuse something in it. Do yourself and I a favor you absolute looser shell of a man. Shut your face. And keep race out of this. -Love a black man

    High quality, entertaining and interesting with cool British accents!
    These guys are great, and know their stuff. They produce a consistently high quality program on less than a shoestring. Listen to even one episode and you will fall in love with the podcast.

    Accessible and smart
    If you're interested in life sciences, this podcast is a must-listen. They don't veer into layspeak so much that it feels like a grade school video nor do they become a doctorate level lecture. This is the rare work that treats the subject in a frank and open way that allows listeners to become familiar with the subject without talking down to them. Palaeontology is one of the most fascinating subjects in the world and I've learned an innumerable amount of new things from these dedicated workers

    One of the best out there
    I have a hard time keeping up with all the podcasts I listen to, but not this one. As soon as an episode is released I can't wait to listen to it. I've learned so much and am so impressed at the quality of Palaeocast. There's been so much time and effort put into this and it really shows. The interviews with Palaeontologists (amongst others) offer fascinating insights and knowledge. I can't recommend this podcast enough. Thank you thank you thank you for making it. It was exactly what I was looking for in a Palaeontological podcast.

    Everything fossilized
    This is a brilliant podcast for anyone remotely interested in fossils and prehistoric biology. I wish they would come out more often and maybe even on a schedule. But as it is right now, I will still listen to every one that comes out for the foreseeable future. So far I have listened to every one and will be going through them again over the summer. Subscribe you won't regret it!

    Good
    awesome pod for amateurs, especially when you keep up with what's new in paleo lit
  • KevinICdesigner
    Delightful
    I really enjoy this podcast. There are some really interesting topics, so I put up with the jr high interruptions.

    A Personal Favorite!
    Fans of paleontology, history, and/or biology must add this to their queue! It's engaging, often funny, & covers a wide variety of paleontological topics. Another bonus is that they often cover conferences so we feel included too. I recommend this one to all my science-loving podcast friends!
  • his2_hers
    Fun to listen to and some great science
    Been out of school for a while, listening to Paleocast reminds me why I love the study of the history of life and beautiful things. Look forward to each episode as it comes out. Great podcast for any student of paleontology.
  • Alskdhjxjenxjsjc3947483
    Excellent
    This is a wonderful podcast. These guys spend significant time discussing various aspects of paleontology. It's a great way to learn if you are not an expert in the field. Highly recommend.

    Great podcast
    I love it.
  • Zandaxar
    Fascinating
    We are usually so focused on our eye-blink human lifetime, that sometimes we forget how vastly different the earth once was from what we know today. This podcast is a great way to get a sense of and appreciate what came before. Also It is nice that they have hour-long interviews with a single person; this allows for depth yet while still being accessible to regular people.
  • Matthew von der Ahe
    Excellent! Interesting, detailed interviews with real scientists
    This is a great podcast. The interviewees are active paleontology researchers working on fascinating projects. The interviews are detailed, technical, informative, smart. Audio quality is not always great, but that can be improved (right, Dave and Jon?). Toothsome, engaging science discussions delivered by the scientists that are conducting it. Five stars.
