Hosts & Guests
Great show kids,
May 11
Yes the hiccups episode was a bit playful. Perhaps the sound effects were overdone. But week after week the content is fresh and the guests are fascinating. Unexplainable is a thought provoking, interesting and engaging podcast. Not bad for a preteen production. Thanks for the great work.
Political Undertones
4d ago
I’m detecting political undertones in more and more episodes. I’ve listened to every episode and don’t like this sort of nonsense. If it continues I’ll probably just move on. I’ve dropped several podcasts in the past for the same thing. I have too many to keep up with without political views.
Emily Oster is not a public health expert
May 27
She’s not a scientist or a physician or someone with any sort of expertise about medicine. She’s an economist. There are thousands of public health experts out there who would have loved to talk with your podcast about fluoride. Many of them are out of work now because of the anti-science skepticism that no one has pushed harder or more successfully than Dr. Oster. You. Don’t. Have. To. Talk. To. Her. Her talent isn’t in science or public health — it’s in repackaging fringe anti-science theories under a veneer of respectability. She “just asked” so many questions about COVID that she personally shaved many, many hours off of my life. My fellow public health experts and I wasted so much time and effort trying to correct misinformation that came directly from her keyboard. We always knew when it was her. Now she’s just asking questions and legitimizing some terrible ideas about fluoride. As far as I know, there is no law that requires you to ask Dr. Oster her opinion about anything. Get this troll out of the mainstream and back under the bridge she came from.
Great podcast

What a fabulous podcast. Truly. I don’t normally enjoy science, but this inspired me! I’ll keep listening.
