Join mathematician Professor Hannah Fry and science creator Michael Stevens (Vsauce) as they dig into the weird scientific questions that often go unexplored.
Welcome to The Rest Is Science, a show that sits in the fascinating space between what we think we know, and what we actually know. Why do we assume we understand things like time, randomness, or even gravity? Once you start questioning these familiar ideas, reality becomes astonishingly strange and completely fragile.
Whether you're a lifelong science fan or just naturally curious, The Rest Is Science will change your perception of reality, and prove that the biggest questions are always the most fun.
Keep doing it, starts my day

Schoolgirl giggling from Hannah and βwacky βnonsense from Michael makes for a very annoying and unsatisfying mix. Too much quality content elsewhere to waste any more time on this.

Well done Hannah and Steven. Keep up the great work! :-)

I have never had this much fun listening to a podcast with hosts I do not follow on social media. Not only is it informative, but also intelligent, eloquent and entertaining. I appreciate the lack of ads SO MUCH.

Itβs good but not great, Hannah is totally carried by Michaelβs unique take on things and wonderfully interesting mind. The Fry girl just acts surprised and puts too much effort into her talking, itβs very disingenuous. Sheβs very lucky to be working with the V Sauce guy! Like she should be paying him π

The best listen - two great presenters who really know their stuff 10/10

It had a great start, but now there is a distinct lack of interesting conversation happening. It feels a bit like the show is hoping Michael and Hannahβs charm will make up for solid episodes that feel worth my time and attention.

I like learning about science topics, and this show reminds me about things I used to know.

Michael and Hannah take turns to present a topic and we learn about it through the questions posed by other presenter. Loads of thought provoking topics which lead to further pondering and research by the listener.

There are much better science podcasts, including Hannah Fryβs Curious Cases from the BBC. The science is pretty watered down, whenever they seem to be approaching something interesting they veer off into banal chat.

The time travel episode was really good. The only annoyance was the man over explaining and repeating himself in typical American fashion. Why use one word when 50 will do. So probably will not listen again.

I love all podcasts Mathsy, particularly those involving Hannah Fry. Great series! I was so sad when I got round to listening to Β΄The Fridge/Frigβ episode today, and realised how bad my timing was - just a few days ago I had had an issue with gas escaping from a can of butane in my shed. If only Iβd realised what I could have done with it! π€

So listenable. Discuss really interesting and broad range of topics and always with enthusiasm. Love all the random thought experiments and logical and psychological puzzles. Also, the hosts have great chemistry.

I like relaxed but the seeming lack of structure means this isnβt pleasurable to listen to. Sorry. Big fan of you both and want to love this as much as the other Goalhanger titles.

Very fun banter, interesting information given by experienced podcasters/content creators. Nicely edited as well. Highly recommend.

I love your podcast, my 8year old would get so much out of The Rest is Science, he loves my recaps, but so much is confusing at his age. If you ever had time itβd be great to do a 5-10min kids wrap up at the end of each podcast that kids could listen to. Coming to you from Sydney Australia, you should come and visit!
