Customer Reviews
Terrific show!
As an American (from NE Ohio!) living in New Zealand, I am thoroughly enjoying this podcast. I’ve learned heaps ( as they say here) about so many subjects. Keep up the great work.
Too many pod cast ads
I love you guys and have been listening for more than 10 years. Just lately I have been finding the shouty pod cast ads really grating, and why so many? Bring back the hello fresh and 2012 Camry ones any day. ( can’t beat a Camry btw.
We love SYSK!
Hey Josh & Chuck, my partner and I are from Aotearoa (I see there’s a few reviews from kiwi listeners, so cool to see!) and we absolutely love stuff you should know. I always listen while running errands on my days off and then my partner and I listen to it while drifting off to sleep. We lay there and listen for a bit and giggle and chat to one another about the podcast and then gradually fall asleep. Thanks for giving us entertaining, education & soothing voices and topics to connect over and relax to! We love you guys 🫶🏼
