Saw this podcast mentioned on a Reddit page about great podcasts, and burned through the episodes, laughing and engaged all the way through. The hosts were hilarious, the story’s unfolding was beyond entertaining, the delivery was spot on, and the outcome was perfection. I haven’t enjoyed a podcast like this in ages. Finishing this review and heading over to see if I can find a copy of Swarmer! Love love love - wish all podcasts were like this one! God bless Todd Noy!

I am not a Rocky fan, nor am I particularly interested in old movies. I only started listening on a recommendation, but thank god I did. Both stories were utterly fantastic!!!! So engaging and captivating, the editing especially draws you in and keeps you coming back. I have told everyone I know about this podcast. Honestly, it feels like a celebration of humanity. The hosts never make fun of the people involved in these crazy stories beyond some gentle ribbing, they are just so excited to learn more and get to the person behind it all. In the case of the first season, they meet a truly wonderful individual! I’m so happy this podcast exists in the world. I really hope they make more seasons, I’ve got to hear more!!! Much love guys <3

Alexei and Cameron bring the perfect sweet optimism, loving friendship, and journalistic integrity to an investigation so important, so world-quaking, I can't believe it didn't earn a pulitzer. I wish there were more episodes in each season. And more seasons! Are there no more mysteries in the world, A & C???

Just binged Finding Drago (thanks Spooko!). Thank God I’ve been off work for the last couple days since I stayed up way late each night to listen to “just one more episode!” Just started Finding Desperado and am already hooked again.
