Ologies with Alie Ward

“This was a really fascinating episode, I highly recommend listening!”

“Interviews with scientists across just about every topic you can imagine. Donkeys! Porcupines! Ferns! Space food! ADHD! Alie has a winning enthusiasm as an interviewer and is very funny.”

“This rec came to me from my seedy-bread-obsessed bff (see rec for Danish Bread) and I thank her for it often. Alie Ward is a delight and laugh-out-loud funny with her set-ups, side commentary and sound effects. Meanwhile, I learn so much about whatever "ology" is on deck with these expert-led deep dives about practically everything from Otters to ADHD to Revolutions and Social Change. Special shout out to the Fromology ep (cheese), which had me giggling non-stop. "Smologies" for kids is also an utterly brilliant off-shoot of the main thing. Smol or large, Ologies is a great family listen on a long car trip or a welcome break from anything news or politics.”

“A modern, audible cabinet of curiosities where each week a new ology is explored in length. For lovers of knowledge everywhere!”

“Did you know that 90% of our serotonin is made in our gut!?! This taught me so much about a subject I thought I already knew a fair bit about. Listen if you've ever suffered from hot girl tummy issues or are simply curious about our gut-brain connection. Fucking fascinating stuff.”

“Every rabbit hole you never knew you needed by absolutely do. Fanology, squidology, quantum-ontology and more than I can’t attempt to spell without checking, all delightfully wrapped up with asides, facts, humor and swears.”

“Me listening to parts one and two of Chiropterology after those bats got stuck in my apartment, Allergology after I started seeing an allergist, and Oikology right before I had to move. Alie Ward you’ve kind of been there for me always!”

“I listen to this every week.”
