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!
Amazing!
Honestly,this podcast is basically the wonders of the world and who wouldn’t wanna these wonders.Maybe one of the things they went over was a subject you have been trying to figure out.And it’s just really intersting in General.
