  • It admittedly has a very particular style of presentation, but I love this podcast for its completeness. It goes to a depth within its chosen topics that show a true seriousness and attention to detail, and stresses critical thinking.

  • Both funny and informative!

    Jesuit’s combo of gleeful fascination and terrified ridicule strikes just the right note for me (a Gen Xer) in dealing with his subject. Which is terrifying and ridiculous. more

  • Who is FJ?

    Great podcast covering fascinating subjects like sovereign citizens and the protocols. I like the presentation style and humour. FJ has a great voice for presenting and the mystery of his identity is quite annoying! I mean, does he have another job and what is it? Does Dana live in America or Europe? UK listener.

  • Good podcast. Corny delivery

    Pretty good research, but the pointless sound bites that attempt to add humor don’t hit the mark. The delivery from the main narrator is fine but the lady who helps narrate needs work

  • Thoughtful, Clever, with Exceptional Depth

    I learned about this show from a reference in a “40 year old boy” episode…. and am so glad I did. I appreciate the perfect blend of comical sarcasm and intellectual deep dives on relevant topics.
