  • Podcast on hot sauce.

    Decided to listen to this podcast after ad on radio. Picked the podcast on hot sauce. I struggled through listening as the hosts worked too hard to be funny, and they weren’t. l reached my limit when they had to interject their ‘wokeness’ when they asked if the owners of Tobasco have apologized for the original creators of Tobasco having slaves!! Are you kidding!! more

  • Very Interesting!

    But why do they introduce the show as Ridiculous Historians when the show is named Ridiculous History?

    While the topics can be interesting, the podcasters are boing and dry.

    I REALLY wanted to love this podcast but I didn't. The hosts are likable, knowledgeable, and both have beautiful voices with deep rich tones. But... way too much idle chatter without much substance, yes there are a few great nuggets but not enough for me. Perhaps I will revisit this podcast in the future and see if I feel differently
