  • Frustratingly waffly

    I really wanted to like this podcast, the topics are all really interesting but I can’t get past the excessive tangents and length of each episode. The tangents aren’t funny enough to make the episode drag so long and taking forever to get back to the story

  • Dave said ‘video only feed’

    Shockingly and wonderfully wholesome, fascinating and funny. The cutie pie-boy man- older than the wind group dynamic is electric and charming. Truly brings a smile to my history student face and to my warmth to my comedy loving heart <3

    Also Dave said ‘video only feed’ at the start of the patreon section of ep 560 and I thought that sounded like an awesome and effective alternative to the podcast format. Please, Do go on :^)

  • From episode 1

    About a year ago I started listening to the newest episodes as they released. Just decided to go back to the very beginning and listen all the way through. So many call backs make sense now! Though It was great even before I fully understood.

    I’m now on the Marie Curie episode and cackling at how Dave tries to pronounce Wladyslaw. I hope they don’t figure it out by the end of the episode. 10/10
