  • Shame

    This is such a cool podcast with wonderful and interesting content. But every time I start listening to it end up turning it off. I can not stand the numbers of times they say “like” or “um”. more

I’m a nerd for weird, interesting and unusual facts. Also, anything that involves science/ astronomy. This is the first and only podcast I have ever listened to. I currently binge about 3-4 or so episodes a day since I first listened to it a week ago. Thank you for creating this! (Edit: I’m just now listening to a July 2019 episode of uranium dinne... more
