カスタマーレビュー
Always something new to learn
There is always something new to learn with this podcast. The bonus is that the hosts Josh and Chuck are genuine and fun. I have been listening for about 10 years and have never got bored. Highly recommended for all.
Perfect for the commute
I listen to SYSK everyday twice. Once on the way to school and another on the way back
One of the best podcasts ever
This is for sure one of the best podcasts that's ever been produced. No matter how mundane the topic, Chuck and Josh bring enthusiasm and heart. Their occasional off-topic banter is just as entertaining as well. I love that they tackle topics from all subjects - history, science, politics, sociology. They have just the right balance of humor and insight. They've been a comfort listen for years and years and I hope for many years to come.
