  • So this podcast is NOT boring. Wow.

    I’m a GenZer, and I didn’t know if I wanted to listen to 2 GenXers talk about a smart but fat British man, and after listening to a couple episodes… I’m hooked?? Mike Grumbine and Ethan are really fun to listen to, and quite intelligent and transparently loquacious (which is impressive because it’s difficult to be intelligent and also relay information clearly without tripping on one’s own tongue) I MAD recommend this podcast to any young person trying to get smart and understand Chesterton.

  • So Helpful

    Such a great podcast. It’s certainly not overly produced, but it’s simple and fun, and such a helpful commentary on Chesterton’s writing.

  • Ethan love

    I can only assume that you record these episodes while running away from Bears that Want to KILL you, and your editor is your pet Possum. I know quality equipment is expensive but, this is poor. Why does AI Chesterton keep trying to interrupt you?

    (Still giving 5 stars)

    I first encountered Ethan on Babylon Bee podcast and loved the dry humor. Thank you for doing this. Four episodes in and I’m loving every minute.

  • Salty Yet Sillily Substantial

    I’m not a big fan of the occasional salty language, but the content is thoughtful and substantial, with a healthy dose of humor to keep the hearer engaged. As for the AI Chesterton with all hiccups and ethical concerns aside, (is this AI Necromancy?!) it has a very unique old timey charm, as if Chesterton himself is communicating with the hosts using 1930s technology. 4/5 Stars.
