Customer Reviews
Very interesting.....
Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!
Awesome Podcast
I found this podcast about a year ago while searching for something new and interesting to listen to. All I can say is, no matter the subject, Josh and Chuck manage to keep it interesting. Even the most dull subjects they manage to keep my attention. Great job guys and keep it coming!
Awesome, Except…
I love this show and listen every day. I’ve been wanting to gain more general knowledge and this was perfect.
I wish there wasn’t as much leftist talk (mostly of lgbtq nonsense/sensitivity) as that ruined the episode on estrogen and testosterone. that has hindered a few episodes but it’s a good show and there’s always a skip button
