  • Pretty good

    Entertaining whether you focus on one subject or the broader scope. The banter can be quite endearing. I don’t know if Simon really deserves that 5 star, but like I said, pretty good.

  • Used to love, disappointed now

    I loved the original run of this podcast and a huge part of that was Daven and Simon’s banter and conversation. I was elated to see the show return and the first episode back was great… Since then, every episode has been a recorded script from one person or Daven with someone else. It’s very disappointing and I hope the original format returns

  • Wonderful podcast if you like a factual show about a huge variety of subjects with delightful tangents. Can be a longer form which gives it much greater depth.
