What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I found the first couple episodes very interesting. This podcast is great to listen to while remaining engaged rather than just having it on in the background. Update: I really liked episode three’s more conversational style. I’d love to hear more like it in the future

It’s hard to find this level of detail and thorough non biased research. Thank you for taking the time to do the research, interviews and curating valuable content. I like to know what science and technologies are being developed and what companies are working on. Understanding these building blocks can help us take action in building a better world. Thank you.

This pod is great. I have been a real engineering fan for a long time, and since I’ve found this, I’ve seen more real science. The diving episode was really great, but I wish they’d gotten Brian and one of the people who helped design saturation diving equipment. It’d be pretty cool for him to talk about how exactly it works.

I have in the last year only discovered Real Engineering and Real Science, but in that time found the due engineering diligence I had been missing from investing and popular science portals. I cannot recommend the awesome balance of excitement for the future and the needs of today except a few other outlets.
