  • Horrible narration

    I’m a little obsessed with Mt. Everest, so I tried that episode first, and WOW I have no idea how this podcast is a thing. The narration is slow and boring and I was incredibly bored while listening to an episode about a topic that normally fascinates me to no end. The background music is super weird too.

  • Not for quick thinkers

    This podcast (specifically the Mayan civilization episode) was so dull and slow I can’t imagine whose idea it was to produce a podcast this way. It’s horrendous and slightly condescending in some weird way. So, if you want to be pushed to your breaking point give it a listen. This guy talks to you like you just woke up from a long term coma and have a traumatic brain injury. For people who enjoy learning about stuff like this I’d suggest you look anywhere else. I would honestly rather read a Wik... more

  • Interesting and peaceful

    I stumbled across this podcast when doing some research on Carl Sagan and listened to the episode on his life. I found that in addition to being informative it was so calming and restful. I am now working my way through the other episodes. They are perfect for times when I need to get my mind off something that is worrying me or take a break from the frenetic world of news etc. around me. I've learned some fascinating stuff about really interesting topics. My kids enjoy listening as well.
