Customer Reviews
What’s up with the white noise?!
Why did you add that to your “break” aka commercials. It was alarming. I like to listen to you at bedtime where I can ponder. That was jarring!
Great show with something for everyone
I’m a huge fan of weird house cinema, it has introduced me to whole host of movies that I may never had heard of much less watched.
The show has given me a great appreciation for mid 20th century cinema, the cheesy 80s, and even foreign films most notably out of Czech!
My other favorite segments are the inventions episodes. I find taking ordinary every day items and tracing their origins as far back as possible.
I’ve also really enjoyed being introduced to different myths, such as Irish and Chinese folk stories.
Great show, please continue providing me with one of my favorite podcast that I listen to every day. You both are wonderful hosts, narrators, story tellers, teachers and personalities. We are very fortunate and grateful to have you!
Growing in you!!
I love to listen to you guys. But I can’t stand mice or rats. I skipped past that. Thought you’d get a kick out of my story. When I was in 7th grade I inhaled watermelon due to a cough while I was eating. A couple weeks went by and I got sick. I missed several days of school. I went to the Dr. I was admitted to the hospital. I was suffering from pneumonia. I was discharged after 5days. I was on the couch at home and I began coughing so bad and I couldn’t stop!!! I had coughed up watermelon seeds that had begun to grow. The seeds had feelers and her feeding on the infection in my lungs. The only thing I couldn’t give them was light. This is the St. Luke’s medical history.
