"When we needed additional manpower to meet production deadlines, Dennis was just the right person for the job. His scientific knowledge, feel for interesting topics, communication skills, and teamworking capabilities made working with him both fun and productive. His script resulted in just the entertaining and informative science video we were aiming for. More to come!"
Lars Dittrich, PhD,
editor for maiLab (science communication videos)
"Dr. Dennis Eckmeier interviewed Jacob Akira Okada and me about our movie “ANYA” for his podcast. He was incredibly helpful, responsive, and amicable during the preparations. He was also very well prepared to talk about the topics of genetics and anthropology that our film touches on. Thanks to Dennis, the process (and the episode!) was fun and engaging. He then produced and promoted the episode quickly and professionally. We felt like we made a new friend and would work with Dennis again in a heartbeat!"
Dr. Carylanna Taylor,
Anthropologist & Filmmaker at First Encounter Productions
"I do not miss an episode of Dennis' 'Science for Societal Progress' podcast, so it was really great to have the chance of participating as a guest. It felt more like a conversation than an interview. Dennis came very well prepared on the topic, the questions were insightful and it was overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience."
Dr. Nuno H. Franco,
Junior Researcher at i3s, Porto, Portugal
"Had a fun time chatting to Dennis on the podcast, and he even managed to edit me to sound sensible!"
Dr. Andrew Philippides,
Prof. for Biorobotics, University of Sussex, UK
"I was a guest in he podcast hosted by Dennis. It was my first experience in a podcast and he made sure to make the experience delightful! Dennis is a very good host and science communicator! "
