I was expecting this to be the usual blah blah aliens are real blah blah Area 51 yaddda yadda yadda-
BUT
THIS PODCAST HAS ME IN STITCHES 🤣🤣
The host is just so skeptical while not being pushy about it (hard to explain) and his running commentary and tangents are just 👩🏼🍳😙 chef's kiss!
6/5
I love this podcast decoding the unknown and his other one the casual criminalist, he has a nice calming voice ans even when he goes off on a tangent I still love it
Me and Simon are almost always on the same page about everything. I love how he basically spoils every episode, especially the ones about "spooky stuff", before the script even started. Great on YouTube, great as a Podcast. Thanks to all the writers for regularly diving into the sea of stupidity to fish out yet another turbulent topic for ol' fact boy to rapidly rip to shreds!
Great work!
