Customer Reviews
4.5 stars for being interesting!
And 5★★★★★✓ for expanding in such a wide range of topics. I have to say that I can’t listen as fast as I used to do, but it’s fun to have new topics and (but) often a very cursory appraisal. Dire wolves?! Psilocybin!? Sexy-Tesla... Overton Windows to Puckle Guns. Sometimes the excitement runs away with the discussion, but it’s good to be passionate about discovery. Overall a fun podcast and I recommend it
My go to
This show has been my go to for years now. I always get antsy if it takes a little longer than usual for a new episode to go up.
I want a merch for this show.
