  • I am a huge Mythbustes fan since episode 1. I always wanted to see more with Tori, Kari, and Gran (condolences).

  • Already run its course

    A few episodes of reminiscing about Mythbusters was fun, but they’ve already burnt through that. I see no value in this podcast otherwise. Why are Kari and Tory doing interviews? They are bad at it, and they have no training in it nor reason to be doing it. This is just nostalgia and celebrity worship run amok. We just keep getting this empty nonsense because people keep listening to it.
