  • Great podcast!

    My weeks are spent listening to an eccentric mix of podcasts; history, science, comedy, comic related… and at two episodes in I think this is the one that brings all of my subjects of interest together.

    These guys are great; smart, educated (the two don’t always go together), fun.

    Now it’s my goal to binge the whole series!
