Hidden Science Stories - This is probably important, is a science and comedy podcast where Ryan, a PhD Neuroscientist, and Zach, an Actor Writer and Comedian, get together once a month to talk about a concept in science and how it impacts our everyday life.

Taking an optimistic outlook, we hope to surprise and challenge you with the facts as much as we laugh about the ridiculous, every episode ends on a positive note.
