  • Fantastic stuff

    Triviality and Miss Information are my two favorite podcasts and now they have had a beautiful mutant baby. I love it so much. Both of the hosts have the gift of gab and a depth of knowledge about their respective interests. An absolute joy to listen to.

  • Filling the Miss Information shapes hole in my heart

    So happy to have a little piece of the Miss Information shaped hole in my heart. Though they’re only a few episodes in, I’ve already discovered so many new books, tv shows, and movies. And learning the fascinating history and details surrounding each one has been truly enjoyable. I love the banter between these two and their expertise on a variety of topics. Chance provides an optimal amount of randomness that just makes it all better. Can’t wait for more to come from these two.

  • Neal and Lauren together at last!

    The podcast siblings have united for the best of both worlds, but it is far from Trivial-Information. These two are both in their element talking about the things they know and are passionate about—film and art—and it comes through crystal clear. Immediately subscribed. Was not disappointed with their quick wit and some surprising catchphrases already developing in the first few episodes.
