Customer Reviews
One of my favorites
This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites. Josh and Chuck do a good job at researching and picking interesting topics, and I like the change up from my usual pod preferences (a mix of true crime and celebrity gossip). Bonus, my fiancé likes listening to Josh and Chuck too and died laughing at the how hangovers work episode. Bonus, they have been doing this podcast fooooorrrrever so every SYSK Select episode (a replay episode from years past) is brand new to me still! Tons of content!
boring and bleh in all respects
I am shocked how insanely popular this podcast is — i listened for two episodes and it’s like listening to two men who read an article a year ago correct each other on either major facts (drawing into question the research..?) or pedantic details over and over again. Neither host has the charisma to pull off a banter-centric podcast so it just ends up a rambling, frustrating mess. So many better, well researched and interesting podcasts out there.
👍👍👍
