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.
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 ´The Fridge/Frig’ 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 I’d realised what I could have done with it! 🤓

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 isn’t 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 it’d 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!

I love the moments in this podcast that make me stop and say “wow” out loud ;) Been listening since the start, just finished the ‘Collective Knowledge’ field notes episode.

Very good podcast spoilt by being US focussed and use of non metric units. ‘Science’ is in the title. So why use PSI and feet?

It a great podcast with an ethical sponsor

Two of my favorites, exploring some really interesting topics, and keeping me 100% engaged with a big smile on my face. Stop what you’re doing & listen to an episode right now now. I guarantee you’ll love it! (not an actual guarantee)

Some good bits but both presenters tend to ramble. And what is a “science creator”? You don’t create science…

Both hosts are super likable and convey a great passion for science and curiosities. The topics aren’t really deep but I actually think they dip in just deep enough to awaken the curiosity in myself which I can then satisfy by looking into the topics they discussed in more detail. It’s a nice mix of different disciplines of sciences with a lot of fun facts.

Both hosts are so enthusiastic and smart - I find this really relaxing in a chaotic world

Boring and they try too hard to be funny

Ancient freezing techniques included methods like "night-sky cooling.” Search it!

I love the show but you usually lose me about 10 minutes in to every episode. The second part of the Infinity episodes really did my head in!

Absolutely loved it even if to be honest I didn't understand a word but they breath so much love and humour into the subjects they play with you just cannot stop listening.

As the proud holder of 1 science o level I was initially wary about this project. Happily the content is so compelling and the hosts so enthusiastic that it is a delight and I am enjoying science now, thanks, Chris Ridley
