  • Rambling

    Just incoherent rambling for 15 minutes - without even introducing the subject of the show. Very annoying to listen to.

  • Crown Jewel of the WhistlerVerse power gauntlet.

    DTU is my favorite podcast full stop. The format is fun, mostly lighthearted and it gives Whistler the best space to riff and tangent to his hearts content. I always look forward to a new episode.

  • Misrepresenting

    I love the show, BUT the times, and way, they mention Joe Rogan and Graham Hancock says to me that they are going on the second and third hand accounts. Someone who actually listened to either would not portray them the way this podcast does, like a couple of wackadoodles. Makes me wonder what else is being misrepresented. BUT no hard feelings, I still enjoy the show.

  • Great show, great host, great team.

    I’ve been watching Fact Boy since he had his funny teeth and hair. I've always loved his content, but this podcast, along with Casual Criminalist, is, in my opinion, the best content ever created on these topics. Well written, well narrated, well edited. 12/10 would recommend.

    Simon, if you end up reading this, I'm proud of how far you've come. Thank you for helping me through a couple of tough times with all your content. Please keep up the great work!
