Customer Reviews
It really is
Awesome informative podcast with excellent, interesting subjects. Fantastic sound design and great storytelling. My only complaint is the gap between new podcasts, but appreciate that they take their time and don’t sacrifice quality to crank them out quicker.

This Show Got Me Into Podcasts
This is the actual show that made me interested in podcasts and helped me to start my own, which is now paying my mortgage. I used to travel an hour to work each way and this is the show that got me through the commutes. I have been listening to the show for over 12 years now, and I still look forward to every single episode. When I tell someone they should listen to podcasts, and they subsequently roll their eyes at me, I tell them to listen to this. I usually get a thank you shortly after they listen. This is the show all others are judged by IMHO.
