Loooooooove this show
Best short podcast ever!
Great show
I love this podcast. such an easy and interesting way to learn about life's mysteries, wonders and oddities
Format Change Turned Me Off
Hate the robot voice and the helpline format. Like the overall idea of this podcast and enjoyed it until the helpline episode. Deleting it from my library. Too bad. Same thing happened to a couple of other Gimlet podcasts in the past. Left them too.
