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!
What Else Can Be Said
This podcast is fantastic. Josh and Chuck have perfect chemistry. The topics are fun and if they aren’t the hosts let us know.
Getting a crash course in so many different topics every week is an absolute treat.
I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
Stuff you can Google?
I’m Josh and that’s Chuck and this is (AD Read) stuff you should know! Let’s take a break.
For two white men making a living reading Wikipedia you’d think they could be a little less condescending?
