I really appreciate that the hosts (and guests) use scientific grounding as the basis of their arguments. In a day and age where politics are so divisive, it’s refreshing to have a podcast that dishes me the facts and expert opinions, and then gives me the tools and information so that I can make my own evidence-based conclusions about each topic they discuss. So grateful for the hosts who sift through the clickbait and present scientific facts.
I have always loved the content of this pod, but I cannot believe they still have not started using mics??! They are clearly using the audio from their Zoom sessions as the main audio. They should record via an actual microphone plugged into the computer, like a normal podcaster. Also I do not like the little sound effect/music bites that have been added lately. They don’t even really break up separate parts/thoughts in the episodes. They just feel random and distracting. Keep up the good work, these little tweaks are easy fixes!
The UBS podcast is a great resource for anyone seeking clear, evidence- based insights into health and science. Dr. Steier (public health expert) and Dr. Scheinman (neurobiologist) do a great job at breaking down complex topics without oversimplifying them. I would highly recommend this podcast!
Unbiased Science is one of the best, most down-to-earth and relatable science podcasts in existence. The range of topics and depth of conversation is impressive. I never miss an episode! 5/5 ⭐️
If you’re looking for nuanced, evidence-based conversations about vaccines, this podcast is not it. Despite branding itself as “unbiased,” it regularly relies on emotionally manipulative messaging that shuts down real dialogue and steamrolls informed consent. In a recent episode and accompanying post, the host presents a cartoonish depiction of viruses surrounding a terrified mother, claiming that questioning vaccine safety is unethical. This is medical coercion in a pastel package—using fear, guilt, and moral superiority to pressure parents into compliance, rather than presenting the full scope of facts. What’s missing? Acknowledgment of: • FDA-acknowledged adverse reactions listed on actual vaccine inserts • Real-world data showing waning efficacy and breakthrough infections • The fact that vaccine manufacturers are legally shielded from liability under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 Ethical medicine requires transparency and the right to informed refusal. But this show reduces legitimate parental concern to “delaying protection” and falsely implies that questioning any part of the system makes you dangerous or unethical. If you’re a critical thinker or a parent who wants the whole story—not just a fear-driven narrative—skip this podcast. There are far better sources for balanced, science-informed discussions that respect bodily autonomy and informed consent.
I ran to this podcast after finding them on IG. For years I’ve been scared of pesticides/heavy metals and other toxins in our food supply. I wanted to hear an unbiased report about it all. I’m starting to wonder if they’re owned by Bayer (Monsanto) bc they have a couple of episodes about organic vs. conventionally grown produce and they never mention the word glyphosate even once! I can’t fathom how you could discuss the pros/cons of organic foods without talking about glyphosate. Lost all credibility for me. They also don’t ask their guests the deeper questions that listeners of a science podcast want to hear. They’ll have doctors and scientists on that they basically chat with instead of asking the tough, real questions. Disappointing.
