  • nah

    Great subjects, but ones that have been largely done to death, and they bring NOTHING new to the table. Listened to several and its like a lighter version of other pods that actually go in depth. And they spend too much time being jokey in a not-funny way. I literally learned nothing at all that I could not have read on Wikipedia. What is the point? Point- there is none

  • not sure about this one

    These are great subjects, but most have been done to death. I am not sure what you are bringing to the table with incredibly short episodes about well worn subjects here.

  • An Embarrassment

    Listening to this should be employed by the military en lieu of waterboarding. Pure torture. The blind wet behind the ears children, leading the blind wet behind the ears children. P.S. Bobby Pastorelli was sober for many years, a fixture in L.A. AA meetings,mleading up to the incident. You nauseating clowns.
