  • It grew on me

    A few too many wacky guests, but also some very good, clear guests. Over time, I listened to a lot of this series, some episodes more than once. I do think this is long over in terms of any actual data that will enlighten anyone, and I have a low opinion of discussions of “suspects,” so this seems like everything that can be said has been said.

  • Explains why...

    ...millions of people believe in Bigfoot, ufos, ancient astronauts, creationism, etc., but a waste of time for critical thinkers who are curious about the facts (and defensible inferences) pertaining to interesting mysteries.

  • Promotes horrible theories

    This guy promotes the worst ideas in this case. Never presses his guests on any lies they may be telling. Go Listen to Ryan Burns podcast instead. Ryan is actually helping the case and tells the truth.
