Host is a sharp guy, but whenever a guest mentions a location, the host interrupts the guest only to point out that he too has been there. Likewise, when a guest mentions a fellow scientist, host feels compelled to say that he knows him/her too. Makes the host come across as boastful and insecure. Just let the guests talk without interruption.

Dr Keating is an engaging and effective communicator. Unfortunately he is more and more focused on “boosting fringe voices” or bringing in his (Trumper) political or religious views, and less and less explaining key concepts in consensus physics. He seems very motivated by clickbaiting and building an audience, which may be related to his motivation towards controversy over coherence.

Dr. Keating keeps things moving along, and through his guests allows listeners to hear a lot about the current state of science & and some very interesting speculations being explored in science. This is especially true of physics and astronomy.

Brian Keating is like the Boy Scout motto, “be prepared.” Keating is well prepared, by his training and interests, to interview the rock stars of physics.

Interesting people often with good ideas and insight

Love Brian’s mind and guests are Nobel worthy. Thx for what you do!

Always a great listen, I learn something new every time.

Great long form conversations between an amazing guest lineup. Great for physics and astronomy enthusiasts. Also great for exploring deep topics with thoughtful debates between guests.

Don’t understand the audience for this podcast after listening to the Sam Harris episode. Host seems nice enough but not particularly interesting or thoughtful. Maybe he’s better when talking about space stuff? Gripes: - Suggesting in the prologue that he has relevant critiques of Sam’s positions on Trump, free will, and religion that weren’t aired, even though no evidence of that was offered in the 3+ hr conversation. Also using the prologue to misrepresent Sam’s focus on Trump, seemingly in an effort to pander to Trump-supporting subscribers - Jordan Peterson habit of referencing a scientific concept or story from religion that has no bearing on the conversation but can trick dumb people into thinking the host is smart

Best podcast ever

This is my favorite podcast. The host and his guests are brilliant forward thinkers that discuss fascinating topics in many scientific arenas. Even though the majority of the guests have doctorates, the information is accessible to the layman. In addition, the host is warm and welcoming thus bringing the listener in. Excellent!

Very informative

Highly informative with a wide variety of interesting topics

The only problem is it’s too long. Otherwise I like it ok. You get to learn about space

Great scientific discussions

Entertaining and informative!

Review by a regular listener.. great content and guests in the show..

After listening to his podcast, you wish you were in his class.

While my background is not rooted in science I’ve thoroughly enjoyed delving deeper into topics that I wouldn’t have had any knowledge of without Brian’s podcast. It’s a must listen if you want to be a life long learner.

Brain Keating brings smarts and a good sense of humor to his great discussions with interesting guests. Great podcast!

It’s refreshing to hear critical thinking being exercised. In a world where facts become opinion and opinions become fact, it’s easy to become confused as to what is actually accurate.

I love this podcast. More so than learning something new each episode, I *think* new and different things after every episode. Highly recommend to anyone interested in new perspectives on topics you may otherwise never encounter, and just life in general.

I love listening to Into the Impossible With Brian Keating during work. He has great guests and makes the workday go by quickly.

Very detailed episodes that span the knowledge of science and are understandable by both experts and novices. The list of guest is impressive and Brian manages to find both the superstars and the scientists who work away and are less well known.

I always enjoy listening to this podcast, it’s fantastic!

The host talks WAY too much and should make his questions more succinct and then let the guest speak. I’m not here to listen to him ask questions 6 different ways, along with his comments, before finally letting the guest (who I’m here for) talk. Plus…my goodness…the host likes to show off his gigantic vocabulary. Save it for your dinner parties and try speaking to the masses here.

What I enjoy most about the Podcast is that you most often can not predict what the next show will contain. With a wide range of guests and topics, and the guests always treated with respect, every listener will leave the broadcast with a greater understanding of the issue and perhaps a change in their own perspective. Happy Birthday!

Interesting listen!

It is impossible to develop wisdom without learning more perspectives. Dr. Brian Keating engages with all sorts of scientists with an earnest sincerity. As such, listening to his podcast helps one ensure the ability to consider heterodox perspectives in matters of science. He is also fun to listen to. Scott Corley

Witty, personable, and always fascinating.

Brian Keating's podcast is a treasure trove for the intellectually curious.

Brian is a terrific interviewer and I love the guests and topics he explores

Brian Keating has a keen insight into reading people. He's an interesting match. I love other podcast like Eric Weinstein, but he can come off as a bit too professorial in his delivery. Of course, that's what you expect from professors, so it's okay. Professor Keating has a great personality for podcasting, is an exemplary listener, and asks important questions. I've found a new show where I can learn and feel excited to learn. I love that I know most of his guests, it says a lot for a society who listens to science without the background in science

Long time listener. The podcast sparks intellectual curiosity with every episode leaving you with a gem of knowledge and something to ponder about the infinitesimally large and small space in the universe.

I am a science fan and ever since I read Brian Keating’s book Losing the Nobel Prize - I have been listening to Brian Keating’s podcasts and just love almost every show! He does great interviews with other scientists. I have learned a lot from his shows.

I first started listening to Dr. Keating after he did an interview with Ben Shapiro. I’ve since seen him on Piers Morgan and all over the place. He does a good job of explaining things in a way the everyday man can understand. Give it a listen. You’ll feel smarter.

Math, space, and science have always been a passion of mine, unfortunately for me, they were not where my talents lie. I’m grateful for Dr. Brian Keating’s show, and others like it, for bringing the the greatest mysteries of the universe closer to home. Thank you for the show.

One of my favorite things to listen to recently. Great conversations and enthusiastic presentation of information of all kinds.

Brian Keating loves science and the wider world of ideas and it is obvious in these wonderful podcasts. Really engaging, every time.

Professor Keating is a tour de force of intellectual prowess and down to earth wisdom, born of pure curiosity and communicated in an enjoyable way. We are also able to “participate” in his conversations with an amazing array of guests on far reaching subjects. One of my favorite uplifting podcasts.

Terrible speakerphone audio on the latest Carroll episode, unlistenable at least by me. A few other episodes have had bad audio, sometimes literally “phoned in” audio. Pretty frequent interruptions promotions and adds, I’m here for the episodes not for the reminders to click bells notifications and email lists. Generally enjoy the episodes despite the interruptions which make me do the work of fast forwarding them. Some episodes are with speakers who cover esoteric topics in a slow boring manner, other episodes are good and interesting.
