Expedition Unknown - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I really like the topics, the information, I even like the cheesy jokes. My only complaint is that they took the discovery channel show and just made it into a podcast so a lot of the visual moments are just weird “swooshing” sounds or music with NO context. There are a lot of times where I’m wondering what’s going on or what something looks like because there is no description… because this was made for TV.

The podcast took a while to add episodes but it is now steadily adding new ones! Josh does a great job taking you through history. Each show is a new adventure and learning experience.

Started listening to the most recent episode September 10, and not 1 but 2 consecutive ads before the show even started, IN SPANISH! I don’t speak Spanish and yet I have to suffer through two consecutive commercials before I can even listen to the show? Makes me not even want to listen to the show anymore. Seriously, DO BETTER!!

Love the tv show, and this was certainly an entertaining listen. BUT……since it’s just a replay of the tv show audio, there are way too many visual cues and references. Not sure it works 100%.

Curse words were bleeped out for more recent episodes. However, earlier episodes did not have curse words bleeped out and my boys (under 10 yrs old) had to hear the f- word twice and two other curse words in the first 12 or so minutes. Had to turn it off. Cursing is fine if that’s the kind of show you want to make - just don’t advertise it for kids and put the rating as “clean.”

Normally a show about this kind of subject matter would be right up my alley, but this wound up simply being the audio portion of a video. It’s clearly not intended for an audio-only experience. Nobody describes what they are looking at. The narration cuts in and out to focus on stuff that a viewer would see, but we can’t.

Not worth listening to at all in my opinion
