One of my favorite podcast. I’ve listed to it for about three years- Aaron is funny as hell. Daniel offers great perspective on the topics. They both have personalities that complement eachother well. Outside of the host- the topics they choose are unique. Even if they cover something you didn’t think there’s more to learn about- they dives deeper. Aaron mentioned onetime that he wanted to create a conspiracy theory podcast that would be more interesting- that’s exactly what they’ve done!
Are you guy’s fading away on us? You used to put out shows every Thursday like clockwork and now it seems like it’s not as important as it was. It’s a shame if it is, I really liked the show.
I’m a 28-year-old female, and I’ve been listening to this podcast since my early 20s. If you’re debating whether or not to give this podcast your time, DO IT!
