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!
Alt 246
Love this podcast! It always is thought provoking and interesting to listen to. Also, alt + 246 worked for me! Thanks for a great listen.
Disenchanted by Unneeded Political remarks.
Let me start off by stating that for a decade this was my favorite podcast, to the point where I recommended it to everyone, and gobbled up their side projects like Chuck’s MovieCrush and Josh’s depressing and sadly accurate end of the world podcast (Hello COVID). While not all episodes were of interest I always enjoyed Josh and Chucks banter and they made even the driest of topics entertaining.
Fast forward and Chucks is no longer the funny humble guy we all loved but is constantly bringing his political views into the show. I’m an independent but can’t help but roll my eyes several times every show at Chucks comments. He now comes off as close minded, elitist, and a desperate virtue signaler. It’s off putting for a show that’s supposed to be fun and informational. Overall it’s just very sad.
