Episode 599 - Monica Nevi

Author: Andy Wood, Matt Kirshen March 30, 2026 Duration: 1:03:55

Each week, comedians Andy Wood and Matt Kirshen grab the latest science headlines with a mix of genuine curiosity and cheerful irreverence. Probably Science is a weekly tour through new discoveries and weird research, guided by hosts whose scientific backgrounds are, by their own admission, perfectly average. Joined occasionally by fellow comics like Jesse Case or Brooks Wheelan, along with guests who might be scientists or comedians, the conversation is less about having the right answers and more about the hilarious journey of trying to understand them. You'll hear genuine attempts to parse complex topics, plenty of absurd tangents, and the kind of questions a real expert might never think to ask. It’s a comedy podcast that uses science as its launching pad, where the goal is to learn something surprising while having a consistently good time. The tone is loose, the facts are often fumbled, but the entertainment is reliable. Tune in for a refreshingly unpretentious take on the universe's big and small mysteries.
