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.
One of my favorite podcasts. Thanks to the authors!

Love this show the hosts put a comical twist on science and transform the stereotypical bland clinical delivery of scientific facts behind interesting questions, into a comical and energetic narrative on some very colourful questions. The only thing that’s off is Michaels host photo that looks like a completely different guy from the podcasts title page

Not sure how someone can exude such arrogance, from confidently saying things incorrectly to mocking listeners questions. I cannot stand listening to him. Very unfortunate because I could listen to Hannah talk about these topics all day long.

Why, pedantically, is your spelling of weird so weird? Seriously, excellent podcast—anything on Thermodynamics in the pipeline?

Schoolgirl giggling from Hannah and ‘wacky ‘nonsense 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.

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

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

That’s pretty much it

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 Hannah’s charm will make up for solid episodes that feel worth my time and attention.

This is my fav show and I can’t stop listening to it

I like learning about science topics, and this show reminds me about things I used to know.
lonestarslp · US
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 Fry’s 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.
