Bite size morsels of evolutionary goodness

Do you think you know a lot Darwinian Evolutionary Theory? We so did until I listened to this podcast. If you want know all there is to know about Darwin this podcast is for you.

Plus this podcast is entertaining.

The distracting background music and often repetitive/vague style of delivery make it difficult to enjoy the material.

I love the podcast. Great stuff. I am an evolutionary anthropologist. I would love to hear more women speakers on here! There are so many excellent women in science.

Very informative and entertaining. I love the way it flows so you can put this all together.

I loved this series of podcasts. I wish I had known about them sooner.

👍🏾

Not much more to say, great podcast, well researched, very entertaining, and well versed.

I'd love to give this podcast 5 stars, but the presenter's grammar goofs cannot be swept under the rug. The main complaint I have is that he says things like "to you and I" and "involving you and I." Apparently, some misguided teacher convinced him to banish "me" from his vocabulary! News Flash: The objective case is still allowed for objects of prepositions and verbs.

.. but I do enjoy this podcast. Coste is not an evolutionary biologist—just a regular guy doing his best to explain things to other regular persons in terms that are easily understood. As an evolutionary biologist I find a maddening stumble from time to time, but in my car no one can hear me yell. ;-)

Great podcast.

Intelligent, informative, & insightful. Very helpful for an inquiring mind.

Love to hear this show. Very well produced and the voice acting is spot on! Keep up the great work looking forward to the rest of the series in 2016.

Evolution Talk is one of the best podcasts that I’m listening to now. I would also highly recommend Rick’s previous podcast Philosophy Walk to anyone interested in philosophy.

This podcast enjoyably fills a void in the science genre. How about adding some interviews with scientists? Would also enjoy hearing about the "news" in evolution today. Thanks for doing this.

Love this podcast - informative, entertaining. It is on my 'must listen' list!

This is a great podcast for those who are on the go but want to learn more in-depth about evolution. It never gets too heady to understand and the shorter length of the episodes doesn't make it feel overwhelming. The podcast also does a magnificent job teaching the history behind many of the people who helped birth the ideas and theories that led to understanding evolution and brings these historical figures to life which helps to make one feel connected to them, so they are no longer just a name on a page in a history book. Thank you, Rick Coste for all that you do and please continue!

I am working on a master’s at U.C.I in evolution., but I am already a biology teacher for high school. This is a great podcast because it communicates essentials about evolution in a succinct, friendly, interesting, and understandable way. I will be using some of these podcasts for my high school students especially the one on Genetic Drift, Darwin’s Bulldog, and The Anthropocene. Highly listenable, entertaining, and informative. Thanks for creating and sharing this podcast with the world!!!

This is a great podcast. Well put together and in great order. I looked for a podcast on evolution that had the right feel and luckily I happened onto Evolution Talk. I started from the beginning and have listened intently to every episode, sometimes going back and listening again. It has been an excellent addition to my education while on commutes and daily preparations. Thank you Rick! Keep up the good work!

Rick -- just stopping by to say "Thank you" for a great production you provide.

Enjoy your research, music, and bringing out the specifics for each topic you cover.

Keep moving forward!

This is a short and sweet podcast that is really beginning to hit it's stride. Expands meaningfully on evolution and related concepts, and never overstays it's welcome - it's always just enough. Definitely one of my favorites!

Rick you do a fantastic job of distilling a big subject into delicious bites. Just perfect for a short commute or an accompaniment to my lunch break. Look forward to each episode. Started supporting you on Patreon today!

This is a great podcast that I listen to all the time. Great production, and very informative. I highly recommend this.

Topics are a great mix between history and biology, the show is well produced (I love the famous "guest speakers" like Darwin ;), and the length is perfect for a short commute. Really enjoying this!

I really enjoy the take the host has on evolution, especially on the history of the theory throught the last couple centuries, and even back to ancient times.

I grew up christian and was discouraged from learning about learning about evolution. I am such a total animal that it interests me to know how I am related to the other animals! It's also cool that Rick Coste is doing it since he is able to say a lot in a short amount of time. It's similar to his show Philosophy Walk in that the average person can enjoy it!

I suggest turning your settings for this podcast to play old to new if you're just starting to listen like I am.

This podcast is very professional and well produced, entertaining as well as informative. I have listened to 6 or 7 episodes and have already learned a lot that I didn’t already know. I have subscribed and fully intend to listen to all past and future episodes.

Rick does an excellent job of not only describing the details of evollution but also goes into many of the side stories that have led to our understanding.

Keep 'em coming

Learning a lot from listening to the few episodes I have been able to! Look forward to many more!

I can't get enough of this podcast. I thought i knew a lot about evolution. The stories of all the historical figures who contributed in their own way to understanding natural selection has been a great learning experience. I have been able to explain all of evolution to my daughter thanks in part to this podcast. Explaining natural selection in your own words is the goal. Mr.Coste is amazing at telling a story and sticking to relevant facts. After listening to this podcast i almost feel sorry whenever i debate a creationist. The quality is great. I appreciate this podcast dearly.

Rick's content, delivery, and production continues to raise the bar. A joy to listen and learn! Love the surprises in the soundtrack each week also :)

I wish it was covered like this in school. A real page turner! :D

Enjoy the podcast and references for further readings

This is an excellent podcast! I learn something new every week and I appreciate the storytelling, the scientific knowledge, and the humor that Rick Coste brings each week. Keep up the good work!

Please keep them coming!

Rick Coste is able to tell the story of the people involved in the discovery of Evolution, humanizing them and explaining not just what they did, but the reasons why they acted and thought the way they did I am looking forward to many more episodes!

Keep up the hard work this is a fantastic podcast.

The production on this is wonderful, and the way it's written complements the effort put into making a great show. I've never listened to Coste's Philosphy Walk, but if it's half as good as the first two episodes of Evolution Talk, he has a new fan of both his shows. I can't wait to see how this progresses.

Looks like a new show and I have high hopes that it continues. :)
