  • 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!

  • Please Restore Early Episodes

    Two of the earliest episodes about the history of galactic races are gone. Those were my favorites, and I listened to them regularly.

  • Immature, Unresearched, Unprofessional

    If you’re not mature enough to broadcast and discuss sensitive subject matter, don’t. The episode on serial killers was one of the worst I’ve ever heard. So inaccurate and uninformed. Big thumbs down, unsubbed.
