What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I can’t sing my praises of this podcast loudly enough! Every recording is packed with unique and intriguing material, from silly to profound. Rigorously factual information with links for follow-up investigations. Warmly, humbly and yet passionately presented, often with gentle humor and at least one fascinating insight every episode (often several). The often deeply technical scientific news of the week is explained in folksy, common sense terms with clear examples that make the importance readily understandable. Interviews with leading scientists delve deeper into the dinosaur-related subject matter discussed. On top of that, the hosts are absolutely adorkable!

LaughingSailor · Dec 2024

I love dinosaurs and always wanted to keep informed about dinosaur news, but I don’t come from a science background, so found it really hard to follow papers and sift through all the misinformation. IKD sifts through it all, keeps me incredibly up to date, and through long time listening helps expand my base of knowledge, as they explain not just the current new dinosaur or paper, but the basic information one needs to understand it. Garret and Sabrina also have a really great dynamic, the kind of podcast where you feel you get to know and like them as you listen. And they do a great job of fostering a community outside the podcast.

Deniscomix · May 2024

Great info.; rigorous but also entertaining. By far the best out there in this genre.

Jdcriii · May 2024

I look forward each week to a new episode of this show. Garret and Sabrina give great information about dinosaurs that they make accessible to novices and experts alike, and they clearly have fun doing it. Fun to listen to!

RBaker221 · May 2024

I have listened to this podcast for almost a year and have found it very enjoyable. I stop anything else I’m listening to anytime a new episode comes out. It’s been a great escape from the world. That is until this past episode. I almost unsubscribed after the first half. We all have our personal views on politics, but this shouldn’t be the place. Stick to science. I’m done for good if it happens again.
