Amazing background about history of genetics. Great interviews. Fascinating scientific insights.

Genetics Unzipped is accessible both for those with only a basic understanding of genetics and for those desiring more advanced concepts and curiosities. With its entertaining format, it's a pleasant way to broaden one's knowledge of genetics and learn of current developments.

Writing, content, presentation—all top notch. Kat Arney is not only brilliant but a wonderful presenter. The content is always great and often fascinating whatever your level of prior knowledge. Kat is a gifted scientist and an eloquent speaker as well—a huge relief from a number of women I’ve heard recently on various science podcasts whose speaking style is very hard on the ears—to put it as kindly as possible. She even has a sense of humor that is just right. To top it off, no annoying ad interruptions or promotions. Just a beautifully produced and informative program. Update one year on Lately I have a couple of nits to pick. Dr Arney has recently made a number of pejorative remarks regarding women’s roles as mothers. These are mild and along the lines of , “oh, how icky”, but it is becoming a bit annoying. Some of us chose domestic careers over one related to our education in order to bring up the next generation—who also will hopefully be able to choose their own best path. I don’t give a rat’s posterior if Dr Arney finds children, and childbearing disgusting, but kindly leave it out of the program. I was also a bit surprised by the most recent episode which was a rather blatant promotion for a commercial enterprise that is producing exosomes. Dr Arney limited her input, but I can’t say I’m comfortable with this type of programming and hope it will not be a trend. In the end it all seemed a bit premature as most of it is still on development, but even so, this just seemed crassly commercial. Id rather see a subscription model than this kind of thing.

Very informative especially for newbies who are rusty on their high school Biology :)

I always learn something new. Whether you know your biology and want to romp through the history, or are searching for new insights at the leading edge of the field, Genetics Unzipped has got something for you. Great storytelling and content.

Such a great podcast I listen to it all the time and I’m always on the lookout for new uploads. Please keep doing what you’re doing the show is great!! :D

I’m a young’in trying to get into genomics for a career and it’s hard to keep up with the field. I listen to (only) this podcast while I’m at work and I really enjoy it. The mix of storytelling and straight science description is really engaging. (And if anybody involved is reading this...more ancient DNA, please?)

About a year ago I made my first entree into life sciences as an account director for a global biopharma and the leading provider of comprehensive genomic sequencing for cancer patients (after more than 20 years in consulting). I bought books and scoured the internet, and then I stumbled upon Genetics Unzipped. Over the course of 3 weeks I have listened to every episode and am highly impressed with the content, not to mention its delivery by Kat Arney. It is as informative, accessible snd entertaining exploration of the history of genomics; the people that have shaped it and their discoveries; the current state of play; and the potential future as I could imagine. I am only sorry that I have caught up and must now wait for each week’s new episode. A must listen for anyone interested in the field.

Very informative podcast with amazing production quality

Outstanding podcast about both the history of genetics and some curent topics. I taught genetics for 25 years and ran a genetics lab for 35 years, and I have recommended this podcast to my colleagues and former students.

It is a little too early to rate this podcast, but I think it has a great future and I look forward to listening to more episodes.
