Two long-running hosts explore a wide array of reality, fringe science, mystery, and esoteric topics with a mix of humor and skeptical inquiry.

The show is noted for its curiosity and breadth, though listener sentiment around host dynamics has been polarized, with strong opinions on production style and depth of analysis.
