Amazing

Autumn

Autumn’s frequent ‘fake laughs’ or brief laugh as an exclamation point at the end of statements are distracting from the message and her professionalism. You are very intelligent and with great ideas; stop distracting from your actual thoughts.

Really…?

Math and drag? Really? C’mon. It’s math. No need to pander or virtue signal.

SO many ADs!

Wow, I’m all for using advertising to monetize content, but the first five minutes was a deluge.

Off topic

When the hosts talk about actual math, the podcast is informative and interesting. When they begin speculating on non mathematical topics (elitism, human transcendentalism, etc) they quickly start sounding pretentious and uninformed. Overall the quality of content varies wildly from episode to episode based on topic.

Seriously?

How can a podcast about math have two dudes who can’t properly pronounce the name of Kurt Godel??

1 episode in but

It’s great! Please keep it up. Love it. Listening to Feeling Lucky rn, probability and chance is so interesting.
super nova😍☺️

Math!➕➕

What I love about this podcast is I love how that solve problems and I learn about this podcast is so good but it tells me like division subtraction multiplication☺️☺️☺️😁☺️😁☺️😁☺️😁☺️😁☺️😊😊😆☺️.

Thanks, Universal Network Effect!

I can’t believe I found this - quintessentially lending a session to each of the burgeoning questions I’ve spent the pandemic on a sojourn just to collect modicums of further clues into!

Unique brilliance

These two fellows have a wonderful and unique perspective on the philosophy of math and its role in the human and seeing how our history and many other facets. The information is very intriguing valuable and well packaged the banter is under matched. It’s not for the light hearted or fickle it does require one’s full attention and you may have to listen a few times to the podcast. Every time you do, you will learn something new, guaranteed.

Cut

These guys have a lot of superfluous content. They need a good editor

LISTEN UP BUDDIES!

NOWWW! lol

Worst

He just makes up facts.

Good math; some dumb comments

This is a moderately interesting podcast with fair explanations given an audio format. But when they comment on other things (cults, elitism ) they can be somewhat clueless. One guy is real smart, the other isn’t. In their attempts to present the material at a beginning high school level much of what they present is so diluted as to be purely metaphorical.

Hmmmmm

I’m gonna agree with the last guy who said “painful” noting to the host stumbling through a question for 2 minutes only to allow guest a few words before being interrupted. Though that response was a bit of a roast, I do agree with the premise of it. Seems like the host is like rushing is there a time limit for pod casts or something? But this pod cast is cool

Painful

Listening to the host stumble through a question for 30 seconds to allow the guest a 2 word answer before interrupting. The remainder of the show seems to be discussing what’s “coming up” on the show

Episode 1 was painful

Mostly, the volume needs to be consistent. The voices constantly change from too low to too high, so that as I adjust volume for one speaker, I have to adjust for another. I really wanted to keep listening, but it was too frustrating. Also, there were other minor things that annoyed me, but it feels petty to write then all out. I’ll try another, and update my review if my interest improves.

Make more episodes!!!

Your podcasts is freaking amazing! 💜 the fact I am learning something after each episode. Please comeback and record more!

Informative and Interesting

I love the combination of the hosts specialties. One host studied computer science and the other studied electrical engineering. I studied computer engineering so it’s really nice to learn aspects of math from both of those perspectives.

Very intresting and patatable for your casual layman

I really like that they go very deep into various subjects while making it easy for the listeners to understand. Bacca's breadth of knowledge makes it never boring to listen to, I also really enjoy listening to amy lin.
Lead-Carbonate

An exceptional, accessible math podcast.

Think you know what math really is? If high school and maybe some early college math is all you got, think again!

A bit drawn out. . .

Particularly with the interview of the developer of Mathbot.com, there are numerous studies that demonstrate the negative influence of using external rewards to manipulate children into accomplishing whatever tasks. Interestingly, his last words about the state should be applied to himself and what he is doing with Mathbot. I have no objection to the software itself — only the promulgation of rewards. Of course there are instances when rewards can be used and are effective, but to paint in broad strokes, this way of using rewards does not aid in child psychoeducational development.

The show for math geeks

As a recent graduate in math i have to say this show is perfect. They cover the math behind such interesting subjects, some of which i hadn't much thought of as related to math at all. They explain them in layman’s terms as best as possible but they also go through the real mathematics and equations behind them as well. If you love math, you wont be disappointed.
math minor

Easy to understand

I minored in mathematics... O do I wish I knew about this show then Johnathan and Gabriel break things down so well. They also give great examples of topography which Was a struggle (my only failed class in college)

Fun Show, Too Quiet

Can you please release louder episodes? It's a fun show, and I enjoy listening and learning, but the volume is so quiet typically that I have to crank my phone's and headphone's volume all the way up just to hope to hear it. And then when the next show starts, my ears get blown out.
I'm on Fire!

Beautifully Articulated

I’m a college sophomore studying physics, so I study a lot of math in my day to day life. But that being said; I miss a lot of the interesting sides of math. This podcast covers what I already know well without becoming boring, as well as what I don’t know without going over my head. In other words: it has something for everyone.

Utterly Maddening

It’s pronounced Gur-del, not Go-del.

Math podcasts are tough. THIS IS THE BEST

Finding good math podcasts by virtue of the topic is very challenging. At least it is to me. I have finally found one that strikes the perfect balance both in terms of sophistication and comprehension. I'm sure I will be bringing on them now short order. The good news is that everytime you review a podcast you learn something new.
nickmacie

Absolutely fantastic.

They break down mathematical concepts in a way that anyone with an interest can understand them. Has quickly become one of my favorite shows.
Nosliwhtes

The most lit math podcast around

It's such a relief to have folks like Jonathan and Gabriel bringing layman consumable math topics in this format. I listen on my commutes to and from work and it makes the day go by just that much faster! Great show.
ARpurple

This is awesome!

I never learned how to understand or analyze math correctly (thanks public education). Now, I am trying to correct that and bring more math into my life. This podcast is so interesting and very well explained, keep up the good work!
fevkalade11

A real original show

Love science podcasts and these hosts do a great job of breaking down super-hard concepts.
TropicCyclone

Love it

I love that they take complex ideas and dont obscure them with a ton of jargon that is off putting

Breaking Math is a Blast!

Are you into math or theory? This may be your next favorite podcast. Wow. I've been listening for a couple episodes and I already feel like I've learned so much. The audio quality is great and the two hosts really hold their own with the research they do. They did the impossible: They've made math fun!
Pavel Dudrenov

Great podcast to pass the time

I'm really glad that this podcast exists! The podcast is fun to listen, the production quality is good and these guys explain concepts very clearly. I really hope that they continue producing it for a long time to come.

Not your father's mathematics

Didn't realize math could actually be exciting/funny/beautiful.. wish my high school math teachers knew about this!
Wifiguy86

By far my new favorite podcast

Great minds come together and explain the beauty of mathematics in a way that is simple and easy to understand. They go over everything from math in history and it's place in the esoteric underground of ancient human civilization all the way to common theory and math in our daily lives. I give it π thumbs up!
