Customer Reviews
Entertaining and educational
I enjoy listening to this podcast. It is entertaining and yet educational. Each episode is full of information but also entertaining. Give this podcast a listen and you will be hooked!
Engaging and fun!
How delightful! These are great episodes that are intriguing and thought provoking. Isaac brings you along with him for his projects, but also gives you rabbit trails of fun tidbits and information as he goes. I have found all his episodes are engaging. I highly recommend you give it a listen!
Really enjoyable to listen to
I really enjoy listening to these podcasts. In particular, I liked the ones on hard to kill humans, sewing, and bone broth. Easy listening, Isaac explains things well and always remembers to clarify when he or a guest use acronyms or unfamiliar terms. Lots of rabbit trails, which I don’t normally like in podcasts, but I really liked Isaac’s - they’re like little bits of relevant and random trivia thrown in.
