What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Thank you, Dr. Owl! My two kids (ages 4 and 6) absolutely love the STEM with Dr. Owl podcast. It’s so informative, and the humor keeps them engaged from beginning to end. My daughter, Eleanor, has a question for you: “If seeds come from plants, where did the very first seed come from?”

kymojin · Jul 2026

My three boys (ages 10, 7 & 6) really enjoy this podcast. They listen while learning and the conversation continues even after the show is over. Ziggy’s cookie joke never gets old with my crew. Highly recommend this podcast. My son Andy, age 6, wants to know: Why do cats hate/dislike water?

Boy 3 Mom · Jun 2026

My 6 year old Griffin LOVES this show and wishes there was an episode every day! He wants to ask Dr. Owl “Why does my foot fall asleep?”
