Customer Reviews
Kind, clever and deep
I love listening to Robert and Joe wander down the intellectual roads less travelled and their interdisciplinary approach to left of field topics. Two great lateral thinking hosts whose curiosity is genuinely infectious. I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few years now and I notice it influences my own patterns of thought. When I encounter something new in life I sort of visualise how the STBYM crew might look at it and it helps me remain open minded.
One of the few podcasts that I look forward to
Exactly the type of discussions I enjoy and after several years of listening, it’s still one of my favourite podcasts.
Love the changes over the recent years with weird house cinema, the artefact but I do miss invention.
Quirky but fun
Light hearted and intelligent discussion about mainly inconsequential topics. There’s a complement in there somewhere!! strangely addictive. Keep them coming please
