Perfect blend of human stories and mathematics.

Very approachable. More about the people than the math, but there’s fun talk for us maths people too.

If you like any part of mathematics, these conversations are amazing. Cannot recommend enough.

An educated adult was the most interesting, best episode to date, check it out/

Interviews with contemporary mathematicians about their personal histories. At once soothing and inspiring, this a must listen for its glimpse into the personalities and process of (mainly) academic scientists. Brady’s interviews are not seeking to make some point, or satisfy an ideology. Rather they flow with a natural curiosity, and invite genuine responses from the guests.

It’s kinda good but I like YouTube’s version better

Knew Number File from watching YouTube, this was even better then what I have seen on YouTube, guess the recommendations from YouTube hid this content from me. Just to be clear this episode wasn’t shown to me on YouTube. I saw other videos on YouTube.

Great host, great interviews, much more than just about math. Brady finds smart, interesting people and gets their best stories and thoughts. Overall just an awesome show.

I am struck by how often it happens that while Brady Haran interviews someone they will say that “ that’s the first I’ve thought of that but..YES” What a great interviewer and wonderful series.

Brady has such a personable approach to a broad array of people. I’ve been listening to Numberphile for a while and every episode is quite good. I’ve just listened to the Third Cornet with Katie Steckles while out riding my bike. Very interesting and a pleasure to hear.

A great look into the lives and careers of professional mathematicians.

Brady has a gift. The interviewees have a gift. Both parties come together to give the listener a peek behind the curtain of their lives. Mathematics, Astronomy, Science...real subjects....with real people making each subject accessible to all levels of listener. Thank you Brady!

Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast! These are some of my favorite people and I love the balance between casual conversation and specificity. I love getting to better understand how these people I admire do what they do so I can better emulate them. If you read this Brady, I wonder if you’ve heard about the Life of Fred series. It is organized like the “untextextbook” you recommended Grant to write. I really advise anyone who loves math, hates math or has any other attitude toward it to look into the Life of Fred series by Stanley Schmidt. They are superb. Just like this podcast.

I’m not a mathematician or even a scientist, but I really enjoy Brady’s chats with various mathematical folks. He does a great job of introducing premier mathematical guests and helping lead them to explain, in an accessible way, what they do. Brady is absolutely brilliant in asking questions to get to answers that work for folks like me. I’ve learned so much about professional mathematics just from listening!

If you’re a fan of Numberphile and its various guests, you’ll surely enjoy this more personal look into some truly brilliant minds. And even if you’re not, or have no clue about any of this, these are still enjoyable interviews - for all parties involved. It’s easy to hear that Brady is truly interested in his guests and the guests are truly comfortable with him. They’re less interviews, more casual conversations. With insightful questions, compelling answers/verbal discourse, enough humor, and it’s easily understood, this podcast is a treasure. I don’t relisten to most podcast episodes, but there are no diminishing returns on enjoyment with repeat visits. Thank you, Dr. Haran!!

When I found out one of my favorite YouTube channels also had a podcast, I nearly died and/or started believing in a God. This podcast is perfect and I recommend it to everyone I talk to.

It’s so interesting and relaxing! Plus, a great way to catch up on numberphile videos- when a new podcast comes out, I’ll binge the videos with the mathematician in question first! Edit- just realized I won’t be getting to the latest one in a while, so many Matt Parker videos! It’s incredible how much free content you put out Brady, thank you.

I have loved Numberphile videos for years. This podcast is a great complement to the videos - a more personal look at how some of the familiar faces on Numberphile got into math and what they love about what they do. Thanks Brady!

Quite a lot different from his other podcasts, but still in the same conversational tone and with some great guests, very nice to listen to!

The Numberphile Podcast helps provide a glimpse into the world of professional math and helps turn professional mathematics into real people. Brady does a fantastic job of interviewing delightful guest and together they craft an a story detailing their history in maths and the woes and victories that got them to where they are. This podcast combines the best elements of mathematics and biographies into one fantastic listening experience

I listen to a couple other podcasts by DR Haran, so I thought I’d try this one. And even though I love the Numberphile YouTube videos, I wasn’t really expecting much from this. (A podcast about numbers? Without the brown paper? How could that work?) But it is GREAT. Love the human element. Really fun.

Brady does such a great job at asking the right questions to get such wonderful stories out of these amazing mathematicians. I love Numberphile videos and getting a glimpse into the live of the subjects of those videos is a joyous listening experience.

Keep them coming, Brady! These are wonderful.

If you love mathematics, you’ll love the Numberphile Podcast. Numberphile already has a great back catalogue of great videos on YouTube. Grant Sanderson was a great choice for the first episode. Mathematics is one of the few disciplines which attempts to tackle the idea of infinity. And I believe it does it better than philosophy or religion.

This is the interview podcast we deserve. Thank you Brady.

The vernacular, brevity and cadence in these podcast are very compelling. They aren't too verbose with the maths but articulate it in a more palpable form, so you can listen to them complimentary with a leisure or menial task.

Keep asking them about their process! It’s my favorite part. Great podcast.

Already subscribed, definitely a podcast I’ll listen to a lot more of as they release more episodes. Personal favorite is the Grant Sanderson

Brady gets into the real nitty gritty with some really interesting people. Waiting for the Matt Parker episode! Also, Brady’s ‘motivation’ for doing YouTube videos (as described in the 3Blue1Brown) episode is exactly how I feel as a math and stats professor. Keep ‘em coming!

I was hoping Brady would do this!

Everything Brady Haran makes is top shelf! Subscribe and enjoy this tough as nails Australian galavantor!

This is one ammmmaaaaaaazing podcast!!!

The Numberphile podcast is easily the best find I’ve had this year. I found Brady through hello internet and I’ve been an avid fan for years. Brady is unmatched as professional interviewer particularly in this context where he is quite obviously passionate about the topics. It’s really great and I hope it grows into weekly show. Even if it doesn’t, I’ll take whatever I can get. Brady, thanks so much for all you do.

The Numberphile podcast is fantastic! Brady has found wonderfully engaging guests who talk about how they got into their respective area of math, what challenges they face, and how they go about doing their best thinking. Not a math lecture, but just as interesting on a human level. 5 stars!

great

Love Numberphile YouTube channel and this podcast is almost like the YouTube channel on steroids. In a pod cast you can spend the better part of an hour really getting to know how things work and if it is an interview you can really get to know the person. I like video I lke reading and listening. PODCASTS: I grew up with no Television (well grand parents next door had one) so we listened to the radio a lot. The think about audio is that you don't miss anything if you look around the room it is like a great radio program where you can press pause/rewind/play and play again and again.

A podcast about math! Dr. Brady Haran has done it yet again. You rarely hear the stories behind mathematics and mathematicians. I hope this becomes as big as numberphile YouTube channel! All the best!

This is a dream come true

Wonderfully done. I am excited to see what the coming episodes bring!

Good stuff! Brady is a great interviewer and this is well worth a listen. I'm hoping in the future there's some actual mathematics that gets done on the show!

5 star review for Brady’s ego (plus it’s a good podcast)

I have enjoyed Brady’s work for a few years, especially his podcasts. This one, I think, brings out the best of his style. He is a trained journalist, and definitely makes use of this skill set in this podcast. He interviews well, and is able to make his guest’s strengths come through. I appreciate the show, and look forward to more content!

i like bradley he has hair

Brady has a unique talent of making any subject extremely engaging. He draws out the most interesting bits of any person or topic.

He is a great interviewer and someone that can make any conversation take interesting turns. Solid starts. Can’t wait for more episodes.

Really enjoyed the first episode. Any math nerd who also likes to think about popularizing math should listen.

Can't wait to see where this podcast goes, keep up the great work!

If you love the Numberphile YouTube channel you will, without a doubt, love this podcast. Peace. Love. Math.

It’s dangerous to watch YouTube videos while driving. Dr. Brady resolved this by providing his fan-base a podcast channel! Thank you good doctor!

Always been a numberphile fan - very excited for the new podcast. Gonna be some great people on it. Loved the first episode already. Can I claim the spot as #1 fan or does that come later?
