Customer Reviews
Love it
Great show Alex is the best sometimes I have to do my own research for some numbers though some of their sources aren’t always 100% accurate
Funny and nerdy!!
I love learning and I love comedy! This show is the perfect combo of both! Alex is also clearly just a gentle soul and I love listening to him talk about, well, everything! I love annoying my loved ones with random facts I learned from this podcast!
Interesting Pod with Charming Hosts
Discovered this pod through Katie’s other pod Creature Feature. She’s so bubbly, charming, smart and funny. Alex seems great too though I’ve only listened to a couple episodes so far. But I love any curiosity-based infotainment kind of pod like this.
