I miss this podcast so much
Please bring this back, it’s the best whistler-verse content by a long way
Huge Whistler-Boy fan
I listen to ALL of Simon’s YouTube channels both on that platform and as podcasts. I really enjoy ‘Today I Found Out’ with Daven and Simon as I’m an avid fact fan. Although my favourite channel is The Casual Criminalist, I would highly recommend you listen to Brain Food, especially if you’re a lover of facts and information presented in a casual manner - it’s just so interesting and can spark many a conversation with friends, family and colleagues. The hosts are great, wildly entertaining and very interesting. Genuinely 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
Worth subscribing!
I follow many of Simon’s YouTube channels, but have a bit less time than I used to to watch videos - so I’m pretty happy that this exists. I’ve just listened to my first episode, one about pranks from behind the grave, and I subscribed straight off. Keep up the fab work as always :D
