The Disappearing Spoon: a science history podcast with Sam Kean - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I like the research and content, but have had to stop listening due to the production choices to use sound effects and foley, especially the eating and drinking ones. If you have misophonia you can regularly, suddenly be triggered by some unnecessary sound ( if you don’t have misophonia, just to understand, it activates fight or flight, makes me want to jump out of my skin. Think nails on a chalkboard.)

Always excited to get new episodes in my feed. Great narration, amazing stories and tidbits I share constantly with my family (many eye rolls from my kids follow)
I also enjoy the audiobooks.

Join Sam Kean for each episode about a weird and interesting story from the world of science. Fun, snappy presentation and narration. Definitely recommend.

I LOVE this podcast and the work you put into it! People in the reviews are driving me NUTS with complaining about the ads. Do you all realize you get this podcast for FREE? You have a fast forward button it takes like 5 seconds to skim through the ads, it’s bogus to give this wonderful podcast 1 star because of two sets of ads conveniently placed in the show. They put so much work into creating interesting, short, easily digestible podcasts that are at no cost to us, I can easily look over having to lift a finger a couple times to skip over and ad or two. Seriously y’all don’t even HAVE to listen to them unlike when you watch live tv, it’s crazy to be complaining that much and lowering the ratings for this stellar show.

Thank you to Sam, from a science history loving young girl in the US :) I appreciate the hard work and the amazing stories!
