Customer Reviews
Nice podcast
This is a fun, engaging math or number puzzle based podcast. It is short, concise and entertaining. The episodes I have listened to so far were well produced with no volume issues.
Not Just For Mathletes
This podcast will be loved by the math experts and the beginners alike. As an adult of only average mathematical ability, this podcast opened up doors for me, showing me that math is not abstract cryptic cave-paintings, but instead a logical and constant system of thinking. The two hosts are pleasant to hear and provide clarity and translation to concepts that were most likely explained poorly in one's past schooling. If you enjoy math, this is your podcast, but if you do not enjoy math, this is also your podcast. Because the segments are from radio, the times are limited (from 2 to 7 minutes or so), but the backlog is impressive, and will sustain you for a while. Give this a chance, and you will likely love it, especially if math was never your strongest ability. I credit this podcast with rekindling my learning of math... I can feel the neurons connecting each time I listen.
!nf!n!tely better than other podcasts!
This is a great podcast with math and logic stuff to fill one's brain. Chaim and Kyle definitely deliver a quality program.
