  • 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.

  • Difficulty Understanding

    I really like the titles of the content, however, whether it be the language/accent barrier and/or the sound, I cannot understand what he is saying. I have tried many times. I have to constantly adjust my volume, either he is speaking too softly for me to hear or it’s too loud. I finally have to give up.

    I have listened to every single one of these and even ventured into Casual Criminalist. Simon is fantastic and this show should be daily!! (That is not a reasonable request, but it would make me happy.)
