  • Already run its course

    A few episodes of reminiscing about Mythbusters was fun, but they’ve already burnt through that. I see no value in this podcast otherwise. Why are Kari and Tory doing interviews? They are bad at it, and they have no training in it nor reason to be doing it. This is just nostalgia and celebrity worship run amok. We just keep getting this empty nonsense because people keep listening to it.

  • Best of both worlds

    First this awesome podcast, and now more MythBusters on my Tv! Coincidence? Who knows, but I’m glad to have both back in my life. The best part is listening to the behind the scenes of certain episodes and then watching it unfold on the tv show.
