Best Pod ever! Hecklefish

If you're into crazy stories, conspiracies, and aliens, "The Why Files" is the podcast for you. AJ and the team do a fantastic job of breaking down these topics in an honest and real way. They don't push you to believe any particular narrative or conspiracy; instead, they lay out all the information and let you form your own conclusions. AJ often tries to debunk the conspiracies they discuss, and many times, he succeeds. This approach adds a great level of credibility and makes the podcast truly exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone curious about the unknown.

I CANT W THE FISH :)..

I’d give this podcast 5 stars if not for the fish… it’s sooo so awful, unfunny, jarring, and frankly asinine if I’m to be most honest. It really takes away from the validity of the information in a way that is not humorous or necessary.. I hope he can reconsider that bits place in the podcast and if he loves the character, just leave it on YouTube. I would love to recommend this podcast to others but do not bc even I can barely get through the annoying fish character.
