Better than other game shows by far

Fantastic show! The questions are designed to be clever and hard, and the panel is all the more clever by coming up with correct yet hilarious answers. I am in awe.

Richard Sher teaches me to have a great attitude!

I have listened to any Richard Sher episode or podcast for years, especially now in the evening, when I appreciate his and the gang's examples of humor, kindness, some humility, and curiosity; so I end each day in the best possible frame of mind, and wake up happy and ready to be useful! What incredibly special people these are. I hope these podcasts go on for a very long time!
