SchleyerA standout, wide-ranging science podcastThis has quickly become my favorite podcast. The host’s expertise is physics, including the physics of climate change, and the podcasts on those topic are interesting and revelatory to a lay person. But equally illuminating are episodes on other topics, including finance, economics and sociology. The host brings the same incisive analysis, preparedness and joy of discovery to all these subjects.

XPGC_92Thoughtful!Physical Attraction is a truly thoughtul and thought provoking show. The ideas discussed here aren't what you normally get on the internet, or sadly in the news. Clearly these ideas have been ruminated on for a while before being brought forth. Truly interesting topics from alien life to UBI. Highly recommended.
-
Elisabeth2364LOVE THIS SHOWThomas is as Britishly charming as he is brilliant about how the world works. A delightful listen, couldn't recommend it enough <3

Tim QueeneyMeson MasterMany science podcasts are seriously overproduced. They have multiple hosts and feel the need to jazz things up as if they are afraid they're about to lose all their listeners any second if they concentrate on the science. The result is too many jokes, sound effects and banter. Physical Attraction has only Thomas Hornigold and his guests and Hornigold appears very confident that his listeners are tuning in because, well, they dig science and like to learn cool stuff. It's a refreshing change and much appreciated. Listen to this podcast, pay attention and you'll learn things. What a concept.

Jeff ChesnutCreative, and fun, way to present physicsThis is a fun show that is also educational, or is it the other way around? In any case, the host is very engaging, with plenty of self-depracating humor that makes for a charming way to present physics. If you are looking for deepening your understanding of physics, this is your show!

SMHeasleyGreat show concept, great podcast!I really love the concept of combining geeky pickup lines as a jumping off point for discussions of physics. This is a great show for nerdy folks like me. Looking forward to future episodes.
