Great show to learn lots of rando interesting things
Josh and Chuck are fantastic and very experienced hosts, presenting all about an usually quite insightful topic, selecting from an endless and amazing list of all topics in all fields from culture and science to history and health. Been a constant and very happy listener for over 5 years now, and they are still doing the same good stuff as always. A staple of podcasts, if not the mother of all podcasts, and a must-listen for everybody.
