Honestly, this is one of the most charming pieces of media out there, hosted by two of the most charming people you could imagine.
Give it a try.
You’ll likely never want to listen to any other podcast after this, because you will have found the one to keep!
Fun and surprisingly educational! Great job guys.
I'm hooked
I found Matt ages ago via the many works of the ubiquitous Brady Haran. I have enjoyed Bec ever since becoming familiar with this Fantastic podcast. It is witty with just the right amount of learning. The perfect intersection between comedy, entertainment, and education.
Anyway, love the pod … Blah blah blah
Good fun pod
