Customer Reviews
As much legal fun to be had while driving on the beltway!
Been a fan of AJ Jacobs for years. He’s so clever and funny ! This show is fun , gets my neurons warmed up . Interesting , accessible and I love it! Thank you.
A great way to start the day
My new favorite podcast! I was curious about this podcast because it was hosted by AJ Jacobs. After my first listen, I know I’m going to be revisiting often. It’s as if you’re sitting around a table of smart, funny, personable friends who don’t take themselves too seriously. It has the perfect balance of spark, fun and engaging puzzle play. It’s a great way to start the day!
Full Ad Read Punctuated by lame puzzles
It was fun when it started and I like AJ in other contexts; but as the host here, he's TOO ACCOMMODATING -- the guest barely got the answer, and he's over the top with praise. Also, there's really no content to it, there are MORE ADs BEFORE and AFTER the barely 10min show. It's always like it's a full length ad roll punctuated by some people talking. And it's SUPER obvious that they recorded the entire 5 days in one sitting and they just redo the intros and "where can then listeners find you" bit over and over.
