Customer Reviews
Yep, I like it!
This podcast is interesting and my busy brain loves the quick topic change. The cohosts seem like swell humans and are positive and upbeat, in their dry way.
Five stars. One for each minute!
Bite-sized wisdom for a foot-long world
Do you have 5 minutes? Do you have ideas about cool things? Then let Brian and Nick help you decide whether your ideas are worth their weight in gold or worth less than a nickel. How Cool Is This is a fun, breezy pod that confronts serious ideas and jokey ones with the same critical eye which makes the listening that much better. As cultural critics go........................we've had worse!
How cool is this podcast though?
So many podcasts could use a little editing but this one is short, sweet, to the point and helps me discover things I never would have stumbled upon otherwise. Seriously, just created a Shlinkedin account. TL;DR keep it up!
