  • One word….

    I don’t understand why this show is still having to raise money through the Max Fun Drive! I mean, from where I sit, this show should already be on a major network and have a movie made after it with Helen and J Keith as the stars! People! Get on the stick and start listening to this show. You can say “I knew them when“❤️❤️❤️

  • Go Fact Yourself was my very first podcast I ever listened to and I found it in a list of brand new podcasts. Boy did I get lucky! This is such a wonderful show. The contestants are always interesting people and I just love hearing about topics they are interested in and why. I'm always excited to share the "What's the difference?" round questions with my friends, but the best part of the show is the experts they bring on to judge the Clusterfact™!

  • Finding out why my favorite people love what they love is awesome

    My sister recommended this show to me a few years ago and I like it so much that I went and listened to every single show from the beginning. In a world where it seems like everyone is yucking everyone else’s yum, Go Fact Yourself celebrates people who love movies, tv shows, music, performances, art, food, and all kinds of things. The guests are so interesting and so are the experts. <singsong-voice>Thank you J Keith and Helen!</singsong-voice>
