    I found this late unfortunately, but I couldn’t be happier I did. I wish they would come back and make more episodes!

    Lots of hard work put into your podcast. Sounds professional. Interesting subjects for me. I wish you much success.

    Great
    I really enjoy this podcast! I'm always intrigued by the stories they tell and what the "solve" will be.
  • CrabbieLeslie
    Super interesting story
    Listened to ‘Ancient Star’ and loved it! Thank you for explaining novas in a way a five year old would understand.... I get it now 😉

    Favorite podcast!
    Fun and well-produced storyform podcast, highly edited with music and interesting interviews. Mysteries are smart and original with surprising developments. Adding this to my regular mix.

    Death Valley rock mystery!
    I attended a lecture in the early 1990s. This lecture was given by Reed from Hampshire college. He claimed that the rocks at Death Valley moved precisely the way that you describe in your podcast. Your investigators did add GPS but in my opinion this issue was settled 20 years earlier. I think this had been solved for almost big time. Ice picking up the boulders? It’s been said.

    Bring on Season 2!
    Just finished up all of Season 1 over this weekend. As a child, I was always interested in the mysterious and occult but as I got older, I studied more hard sciences that preach the significance of empirical evidence. This show did a fantastic job of creating the intrigue surrounding each curiosity, satisfying my childhood side, while explaining the science behind it that allows my adult side to feel some closure. Thanks, Kaleigh and Tim, for all of your hard work in producing this fantastic podcast and I greatly look forward to Season 2.

    Maybe, maybe not.
    Bastardizing ideas limits science and creation of hypothesis' of other people. What limits science in modern culture? Arrogance. I don't like how some of the commenters literally laugh through ideas that seem far fetched.. isn't this part of learning? Some of the scientific view points haven't "solved" anything. Maybe a disclaimer this is partly and opinion based science podcast. I'm especially turned off by prehistoric ideas and ancient cultures. Doesn't feel credible. Throwing around the words "scholars agreed" means nothing to me.

    Oustanding Podcast!
    Very entertaining mix of mystery and science.
  • Pommymommy01

  • MelisKa916
    Love it
    Absolutely love this podcast. I hope there will be another season.
  • GypsySoul0810
    Very interesting!
    I loved hearing the folklore behind myths, as well as, the journey to solving the problem. Well spoken and interesting topics. Thanks! Look forward to hearing more.

    Love this podcast!
    I love every part of this podcast! The narration is perfect, the music is appropriately chosen and timed and the information given is fascinating!!! To me, this is one of my top 10!!! Can't wait for the next season!!!
  • AddieHD
    One of my favorite podcasts
    The show is a great mix between a mystery and a documentary, blending a detailed summary of each week's phenomenon with first-hand accounts and interviews with the scientists who researched it into a flowing narrative. It tells the stories of the strange corners of the world and the people who took the time to crawl into them. So many mysteries lose their luster once they're solved, but Science Solved It does a great job bringing out the wonder in even the most mundane-seeming explanations. Can't wait for the next season.

    Science solves a lot

    Informative and Fun

  • Huntsoda
    Science + Fun = Great Radio
    Science Solved It is a short, action packed show that asks a question, and explores multiple answers before leaving you with something a little less concrete. It's respectful, while also enjoying some amount of tension, by teasing out the history and development of an idea. It's the best kind of pop sci, that veers away from sensationalism and draws you into the story of discovery. Excellent interviews, smart production, and the succinct package leaves little to be desired. A must listen every week so far, and I'm not worried about that changing any time soon.

    Why the F-Bomb?
    I thought this was a cool concept. Enjoyed the "bloop" episode with my kids but was disappointed with the profanity. Hoped my seven-year-old hadn't noticed but nothing gets by him.
  • Hggdshhf
    Bring me more!
    Great! Really fun and interesting podcast. I would love to see this expanded, longer episodes and what not. Love it!
  • acdmd
    Superb
    Quick to the point and concise. Nice build up to the finale and answer ... NOT long and rediculously drawn out to fill an hour like those clowns on the other popular podcast...and YOU KNOW ab whom Im referring!
  • AleJLen
    Awesome
    One of the best science podcasts
  • mhkkk
    Interesting
    Fun stories about different phenomena. Always accompanied by different theories starting with the most implausible to the most rational. Very educational!
  • PerryBorenstein
    I enjoy this a lot
    Found this podcast and and am happy to say that it is a great podcast. It takes on mysteries and reports conclusion based upon scientific analysis. It's straight to the point, no fluff.
  • Ollie Puerto Rico
    Great show
    We all should keep ourselves in the learning mode, for understanding the wonders of our lives, our universe and for fun. This is the show that does it all. Enjoy!
  • mcratl
    Engaging content
    I love this show! It's not too lengthy, and keeps it interesting by exploring a lot of ideas about the problem before delving in to the answer. Great way to learn something and enjoy what you're listening to at the same time.
  • CaliZorroMan
    EXCELLENT!
    I appreciate the way time they take to tell the back story. Especially if you were never exposed to the mystery before, you really wouldn't know the "questions" to ask. Plus I get to share these with my grandchildren and help grow their natural curiosity for our world. I'm 3 episodes' in and I can't wait for more. Great work! BRAVO!
  • mikideez
    Thank you!
    I love this podcast, it is great to listen to solved mysteries! Very interesting storylines, excellent editing, perfect time-lengths.
  • Nekachan61
    Interesting content
    I've heard of the bloop and the moving rocks in Death Valley, but never realized that there were actual answers for the phenomenon. The podcast is interesting and well produced. Excited for next week!
  • Jeb Zuniga
    Cool idea anyway
    First episode was pretty misleading, I'll give it another try.
  • JM.220.cm
    Very entertaining!
    I've thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Very entertaining with a lot of potential. Keep it up!
  • Gypsyplus2
    Solved Mysteries
    I love a good mystery and love the curious feeling I get when science confuses even the most scientific minds. This is a well-done podcast in that it's short, informative and has great sound effects used to enhance the information. I recommend it!
  • G_ray_54
    First two episodes
    Essentially Mans top two greatest mysteries boil down to....ICE! Who knew?
  • OntheUp&Up
    What a great podcast!
    Love this podcast! So well made, great content and great audio quality. Definitely a must listen!
  • Sen. Harry Reid
    1st episode was spectacular
    big league
  • Slippy McGee
    Just OK
    Sounds interesting right? Well it is but just barely. I hope things improve but it lead up to a mediocre reveal and still left me with questions.
  • Trizzy D
    Anything VICE Does Is Always Worth Checking Out
    Great Podcast! I really hope vice's other affiliates begin releasing podcasts associated with their YouTube channels and Vice's magazine and other media Vice is involved in.
  • michdavidadams
    Love it already
    Great production, and really interesting. This show is perfect. It's not too complicated for a non-scientist person to understand.
  • Skull Panda
    A perfect slice
    A perfect slice of information clearly presented and easy to follow. Love. It.
  • jasface5288

    So excited
    So psyched for this show to start. I love science and I love mysteries, so I can't wait to see what Motherboard cooked up!
