Awesome, seriously

Such a great podcast. I can't stop listening. Searched for it after I finished all of 'theory of everything'

Love this show

I listened to every episode of Theory of Everything but needed more. This show is smart and funny. Walker is brilliant. TMI's special correspondent Chris is my favorite.
