  • Best esoteric podcast ever!

    Really well researched, narrated and presented. So many interesting topics covered from an objective point of view. Love how Tim wants you to think for yourself and learn things without the constraint if deciding if you agree with or believe what he is covering!

  • cool show

    Enjoying the show, and the loose exploration of topics in the episodes. My only grievance is the background spooky sounds are cool once in a while but become distracting to the episodes. keep up the good work!
