A podcast about computational biology, bioinformatics, and next generation sequencing.

"Everything you wanted to know about evolution by natural selection in short, easy to digest, episodes."

"Revealing more about microbiologists, the work they do, and what makes them tick. We ask them what they're up to now and what's next? How is the science moving forward to solve some of the intractable problems of our times? What keeps them going in a tough, competitive field? What do they see for the future of research, education, and training? We hope to show you a glimpse of what scientists are really like and what's going on in cutting-edge research today."

"MicrobeTV is an independent podcast network for people who are interested in the life sciences. Our shows are about viruses, bacteria, parasites, evolution, immunology and neuroscience."

"Naked Genetics takes a look at the science of genes. With in-depth interviews, the latest news from the world of genetics, answers to your questions, and our gene of the month, tune in for a look inside your genes."

"The Nature podcast explains the latest and cutting edge research from the papers of the famous journal, as well as investigating more general topical issues in science, tech and academia. It’s understandably more specialist and in-depth than most popular-science podcasts, but it’s still well-produced enough to be a relatively easy listen."

"Take away a pocket full of science knowledge and charming, bizarre stories about what fuels these professional -ologists' obsessions. Humorist and science correspondent Alie Ward asks smart people stupid questions and the answers might change your life."

"Origin Stories is The Leakey Foundation's monthly podcast about what it means to be human and the science behind what we know about ourselves. We'll look into the deep past, explore the mysteries of the human mind, and hear stories from scientists who are asking fascinating questions about the origins and evolution of our species. We'll have stories on human evolution, human behavior, primates, archaeology, biology, psychology, science history and much more."

"A podcast where we talk about newly described species! Most people don't know that only a fraction of species are known to science, and descriptions of new species are published every day! This podcast talks to the authors of these studies to get the behind-the-scenes stories, talk about why these discoveries should matter to everyone (not just scientists), and to help everyone better understand the wonderful biodiversity of our planet!"
