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!
Thank you!!
You guys are awesome
Listen Up!
The SYSK “Selects” episode is from 2019. The choice for this as a gift to listeners as an extra episode is a bad one. People with dyslexia or people having relatives with dyslexia please know that so, so, many advances have been made, and are available currently as to make this episode ill-chosen. Bad choice, Chuckie.
