Popular Reviews of The Story Collider

The Story Collider is a storytelling podcast about science. It's not just by scientists, but by anyone who science has impacted. Many of the stories are emotional, many describe harrowing experiences, but just about all of them end on a hopeful note. The storytellers have a fine grasp of the art - of creating a narrative arc, of a dramatic pause. More importantly, many of the stories highlighted in this podcast focus on the margins of science - but not in the sense of innovation. It is the experience of entering a PhD as a racial minority, of using science to defuse political tensions, of finding oneself on the cusp of potentially life-saving, but unproven, therapies. An approachable, often humorous podcast despite the subject matter.
