  • 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.
