80'sVillagerEric the FoolBrian you bring Eric Weinstein on for clicks knowing he’ll reveal himself as a delusional fool who everyone laughs at. See Tim Dillon’s spoof of your obnoxious buffoon.
-
ChauncyGardner22Eric WeinsteinGenerally love this podcast but Eric Weinstein is an insufferable guest. If he doesn’t want to discuss Lenny Susskind’s hairline he’s welcome to recede back into the shadows of University lecture halls where his pompous personality can be met with others who think equally highly of themselves.
-
MarkChicagoILInterview with Eric WeinsteinReally? “Eric Weinstein is one of the most revered thinkers of our generation.”
-
Big OlekInteresting subjects, bombastic hostConstant boasting and self grandiosity a big turnoff.
-
kryptosamToo Bad this “science” podcast has a right wing political bentAt times this podcast can cover interesting science. But at other times it glorifies the technological cult of Elon Musk and his ilk. More and more it seems to be choosing to give a platform to Neo fascists with its interviews. When it has on political commentators with unilateral world-views, it seems far departed from any semblance of objective science.
-
David_S8324Loving “the scientists”Keep it up you’re in to something, episode 1 about flatland is great!
-
unvoyageurGreat guests, so-so hostHost is a sharp guy, but whenever a guest mentions a location, the host interrupts the guest only to point out that he too has been there. Likewise, when a guest mentions a fellow scientist, host feels compelled to say that he knows him/her too. Makes the host come across as boastful and insecure. Just let the guests talk without interruption.
-
Aaron in BrooklynBy “The Impossible”, he means crackpot theories and disgusting politicsDr Keating is an engaging and effective communicator. Unfortunately he is more and more focused on “boosting fringe voices” or bringing in his (Trumper) political or religious views, and less and less explaining key concepts in consensus physics. He seems very motivated by clickbaiting and building an audience, which may be related to his motivation towards controversy over coherence.
-
History Fan in OklahomaExcellent Guests - Especially in Physics & AstronomyDr. Keating keeps things moving along, and through his guests allows listeners to hear a lot about the current state of science & and some very interesting speculations being explored in science. This is especially true of physics and astronomy.
-
Maybe Wavey DaveyBoy ScoutBrian Keating is like the Boy Scout motto, “be prepared.” Keating is well prepared, by his training and interests, to interview the rock stars of physics.

Icohen23Always compellingGreat long form conversations between an amazing guest lineup. Great for physics and astronomy enthusiasts. Also great for exploring deep topics with thoughtful debates between guests.
-
A. B. F.I don’t get itDon’t understand the audience for this podcast after listening to the Sam Harris episode. Host seems nice enough but not particularly interesting or thoughtful. Maybe he’s better when talking about space stuff? Gripes: - Suggesting in the prologue that he has relevant critiques of Sam’s positions on Trump, free will, and religion that weren’t aired, even though no evidence of that was offered in the 3+ hr conversation. Also using the prologue to misrepresent Sam’s focus on Trump, seemingly in an effort to pander to Trump-supporting subscribers - Jordan Peterson habit of referencing a scientific concept or story from religion that has no bearing on the conversation but can trick dumb people into thinking the host is smart
-
IsaaceirirBest podcastBest podcast ever
-
Let art be trueFascinatingThis is my favorite podcast. The host and his guests are brilliant forward thinkers that discuss fascinating topics in many scientific arenas. Even though the majority of the guests have doctorates, the information is accessible to the layman. In addition, the host is warm and welcoming thus bringing the listener in. Excellent!

SammyjoexGreat podcastAfter listening to his podcast, you wish you were in his class.
-
SethntBrain teasers to start off the dayWhile my background is not rooted in science I’ve thoroughly enjoyed delving deeper into topics that I wouldn’t have had any knowledge of without Brian’s podcast. It’s a must listen if you want to be a life long learner.
-
John NuhnGreat podcastBrain Keating brings smarts and a good sense of humor to his great discussions with interesting guests. Great podcast!
-
otterav831Critical thinkingIt’s refreshing to hear critical thinking being exercised. In a world where facts become opinion and opinions become fact, it’s easy to become confused as to what is actually accurate.
-
Official MJKPerspectiveI love this podcast. More so than learning something new each episode, I *think* new and different things after every episode. Highly recommend to anyone interested in new perspectives on topics you may otherwise never encounter, and just life in general.
-
Jeff PBGreat podcast!I love listening to Into the Impossible With Brian Keating during work. He has great guests and makes the workday go by quickly.
-
MCutuliOverall impressive programVery detailed episodes that span the knowledge of science and are understandable by both experts and novices. The list of guest is impressive and Brian manages to find both the superstars and the scientists who work away and are less well known.
-
Ev.RWonderfulI always enjoy listening to this podcast, it’s fantastic!

Bill BourbonInformative and EngagingConsistently high quality podcasts.

-
Doug GrezeszakAwesome and improving podcastReally happy to hear that you are getting back to your roots with this podcast. I had thought about unsubscribing because it was becoming obvious that you were just chasing subscriptions and clicks. This episode is wonderful and the kind of episode that I hoped to be listening to when I originally subscribed to this podcast. I love this new direction and applaud it. Please continue down that path
-
JSteelman963SincereEvery conversation is a sincere effort to illuminate the expertise and interests of the guest to both host and listener. Professor Keating manages this in a welcoming environment that is refreshing, engaging, and relaxing.
-

Overall, 'Into the Impossible' is a must-listen for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and perspective on the world.
-
listeningdadIrritatingThe host talks WAY too much and should make his questions more succinct and then let the guest speak. I’m not here to listen to him ask questions 6 different ways, along with his comments, before finally letting the guest (who I’m here for) talk. Plus…my goodness…the host likes to show off his gigantic vocabulary. Save it for your dinner parties and try speaking to the masses here.
-
Apollo SteveWide ranging topics and guestsWhat I enjoy most about the Podcast is that you most often can not predict what the next show will contain. With a wide range of guests and topics, and the guests always treated with respect, every listener will leave the broadcast with a greater understanding of the issue and perhaps a change in their own perspective. Happy Birthday!
-
Liberty CharterExcellent!Into the Impossible is a must-listen for anyone passionate about science and curiosity. Host Dr. Brian Keating masterfully brings complex topics to life with engaging discussions, making them accessible without losing their depth. The podcast’s diverse range of expert guests and thought-provoking conversations leave me inspired and excited to explore the mysteries of the universe.
-
JumbroJust scratching the surfaceI’m a new listener to the show and I really can’t get enough. Everything I listen to sends me down a different rabbit hole.
-
iamfrostnycGrow your brain!The Into the Impossible Podcast is a sure fire way to grow your brain! Every episode is a treat, with something new to learn an a variety of fascinating subjects.
-
GeorgepeyGood show!Interesting listen!
-
sjcorleyInteresting perspectives.It is impossible to develop wisdom without learning more perspectives. Dr. Brian Keating engages with all sorts of scientists with an earnest sincerity. As such, listening to his podcast helps one ensure the ability to consider heterodox perspectives in matters of science. He is also fun to listen to. Scott Corley
-
Sunnydelite2012One of the sharpest minds out thereWitty, personable, and always fascinating.
-
Shogun-23Impossibly good podcast!Brian Keating's podcast is a treasure trove for the intellectually curious. His expertise as a cosmologist shines through, but what truly sets this show apart is how he explores a wide range of topics with genuine enthusiasm. The guest interviews are always engaging, and Brian has a knack for making complex concepts accessible. Whether you're a science buff or simply love learning, each episode leaves you with new insights and plenty to ponder. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys thoughtful, in-depth conversations about our universe and beyond.
-
LasalledyDefinitely Into the Impossible!Brian Keating is a renowned cosmologist and professor of physics at UC San Diego. He is highly regarded for his work on the BICEP2 telescope, which aimed to detect primordial gravitational waves. Keating is also known for his engaging podcast, "Into the Impossible," where he discusses astrophysics and cosmology with leading experts, making complex topics accessible and fascinating for listeners. His book, "Losing the Nobel Prize," offers a personal and insightful look into the challenges of scientific discovery and the complexities of the Nobel Prize system.
-
Jessica ZagackiAmazing show!Brian is a terrific interviewer and I love the guests and topics he explores
-
acas107Professor and a Podcast!Brian Keating has a keen insight into reading people. He's an interesting match. I love other podcast like Eric Weinstein, but he can come off as a bit too professorial in his delivery. Of course, that's what you expect from professors, so it's okay. Professor Keating has a great personality for podcasting, is an exemplary listener, and asks important questions. I've found a new show where I can learn and feel excited to learn. I love that I know most of his guests, it says a lot for a society who listens to science without the background in science
-
alrex021A cosmic gemLong time listener. The podcast sparks intellectual curiosity with every episode leaving you with a gem of knowledge and something to ponder about the infinitesimally large and small space in the universe.
-
RNslamI Love This PodcastI am a science fan and ever since I read Brian Keating’s book Losing the Nobel Prize - I have been listening to Brian Keating’s podcasts and just love almost every show! He does great interviews with other scientists. I have learned a lot from his shows.
