    Lovably Nerdy
    I started with “The Last of the Iron Lungs” episode last year and fell in love with this little gem of a science podcast. Ranks right up there with “Radio Lab.”

    Yay women-hosted STEM podcasts!
    I'm so glad that Transistor and Origin Stories exist! I adore shows like Radiolab, but it's always slightly disturbing to me how few women they bring on. Here's to new perspectives and voices.

    Inspiring, intelligent, interesting
    Smart, interesting and I always come away with something I want to research more. Excellent!!
  • AmteurBoxr
    Very good
    Love Transistor, one of my favorite podcast now. Interesting topics, well produced. Amazing work by Wendy Suzuki. On the other hand, Christina's way to enunciate and talk, very annoying. Quite "hip" maybe, but certanly very annoying. Congratulations in general.
