  • Tlazkamati!

    i came to this show by way of trying to learn Nahuatl through another production of Chimalli Media, Café con Nahuatl, and i have enjoyed listening for several years now. Though the format of the show is consistent the periodic guests and the hosts’ ability to convey pertinent information is indispensably valuable.

  • Netflix should’ve hired these guys instead of Graham Hancock

    Their takedown of Graham Hancock is a classic. Why did Netflix pay him millions of dollars? Are lies cheaper than reality?

    I was listening to Tales from Atlantis before I ever heard of Graham and it is sad that advertisers are paying to promote him instead of Kurly & Ruben.

    It’s tough when they’re up against basically fantasy writers making millions selling books they just make up. Is it easier to entertain viewers when you don’t actually have to have evidence for anything.

  • Painful to listen to

    These guys are maroons. I thought I would get a scientific, Objective, and truth seeking attitude with regards to Graham Hancock. All they did was belittle. They clearly didn’t have knowledge on the topics as they would say “well what did the scientists say” and “I don’t know about Egypt, but he’s totally wrong”. If these guys are the scientists charged with seeking truth, we are doomed. Sad to represent Latinos in such a light, given their education. Even sadder is that they are charged with ed... more
