Avis
Making me curious about things I didn’t know I was curious about
I love this podcast, highlighting everyday things I failed to notice, teaching me interesting things. Beyond that it’s a work of art in and of itself: the production of this podcast rivals RadioLab and This American Life.
Never heard a bad one
I always look forward to Wednesday when the new one is out. I have learnt so much from this podcast. It makes you look at the world in different ways.
Plus Roman Mars voice is a delight to listen to.
Fantastic
In my mind, it's the gold standard for podcast.
Top notch production, great sense of identity, interesting themes, just the right ration of pretinent information / fun, it's truly great.
