Customer Reviews
Entertaining but informative
Very helpful outlet for my etymology nerd out moments
curios
whole 9 yards has leapfrogged over other pods that i listen to and is now a weekly and bi-weekly listen. the cast has a great balance of humanity and research. a tricky needle to thread, and they do it episode after episode. true confession: i mostly tune in to hear rebecca read the sponsor copy and promos, but every show has to have a hook - no? great stuff. thanks boyz.
stay safe, be well,

Love this show.
This show satisfies my curiosity about many words and phrases that I’ve always wondered about. Their voices are also quite relaxing yet upbeat so between content and then their audible aesthetic, I’m very happy with every episode so far!
