A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am on my 2nd time through all 300+ episodes and I couldn’t recommend it more! If you like to learn, listen, and be right of quizzes, this show is totally for you. Nerd out with these amazing hosts who get me through the day with laughter and intrigue 💕

GJBobsessed · May 2026

Y’all were the first podcast I ever listened to and happy to have kept on for the past 7 years. Miss you during your breaks but if this schedule keeps you all feeling fresh and having a good time, love to see the episodes whenever they come. You all are great!

Lizney55 · Oct 2025

This is the warm blanket and cup of tea of podcasts. Fun, comforting, and smart. Favorite podcast ever!

Rainy606 · Aug 2024

Absolutely love this podcast, but the sound levels make it difficult to listen to sometimes, especially in the car. One of them is usually significantly louder or quieter, Chris always sounds like he’s in a tin can, and there’s generally never a consistent volume across the board. Please please please fix this! Everything else about this show is perfect.

The alliterations were fun for a while, now the show opening makes me cringe every time and I have to convince myself not to turn it off. We’re all impressed that you can pull words from the same section of a dictionary to make a ridiculous sentences. It takes more than having nouns and verbs in their proper places to make a sentence that people want to hear. Time for something new.

The alliterations were fun for a while. Now it makes me cringe every time the show starts and I have to convince myself not to turn it off. We’re all impressed that you can pull words from the same section of a dictionary to make a ridiculous sentences. It takes more than having nouns and verbs in their proper places to make a sentence that people want to hear. And turn down Karen’s microphone! (Or off, if you can—bring back Dana!)
