  • Cool stories but distracting presentation

    I really wanted to like these guys since I’m interested in the topics they cover, but I am not a fan of their presentation style. I couldn’t even finish the episode. They play music over the entire conversation and talk really fast. I think they are trying to be entertaining but it is just very distracting and a bit annoying. If they talked at a more normal pace without any music it would be so much better! To keep it entertaining they could just keep the witty banter back and forth, that is mor... more

  • An incredible host

    I don’t normally write reviews for podcasts, but the most recent episode “Was anything useful learned from WWII Human Experimentation” is such a hard hitting and a difficult subject that Simon expertly navigates, it moved me to write this review. This episode is a hard but necessary listen. But also, don’t worry if that’s not your get too,, most episodes are about aliens and magic and ghosts too, and they are a lot lighter!

  • A fun listen!

    I love Simon’s show - his snarkiness and cussing is right up my alley. My caveat - WHY ARE THE COMMERCIALS SO LOUD!?!? They’re much louder than everything else.
