Customer Reviews
Informative & Delightful
Looking for conversation starters at your next dinner party or wanting to enhance your trivia skills? Welcome to Your Brain on Facts! I adore Moxie and her informative way of delivering insightful truths. She has some funny side commentary too (joking about her height, where she’s from, her family, and other real life issues). I feel like a better person when I listen to her delightful 30 minute episodes. She feels like a friend rather than a lecturer. Also, the music is the definition of easy listening— it won’t deter you from the theme of the episode. Keep making the world a smarter place, Moxie! Thank you from down under!
Well Researched and Witty
