What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Pros It’s Katy and Tory sharing stories and having awesome guests Cons Podcast is very edited too much for my taste. It’s not easy on the listener. Suggestion The conversations and can flow much better if they toned down the editing. Perhaps have an outline with topics ahead of time. And if you veer off then go for it!

Montypythonarg · Jun 2026

This podcast is a great listen. Kari and Tory really have an amazing connection which makes listening to them a blast! As someone who grew up on Mythbusters, this podcast brings out all the nostalgia from the show.

HistoryLover102 · Oct 2025

Kari and Tory are the best. I loved them on MythBusters and now I can listen to them trade stories about anything and everything. That plus the amazing guests means I won’t miss an episode.

Gmk1966 · Oct 2025

If you loved Mythbusters, then listening to this podcast is a no brainer. Kari and Tori revisit moments on the show and share the behind the scenes goodies that didn’t make it past the editing room. They clearly love to share the stories and they still have that wonderful chemistry that made them so fun to watch as the build team. Long live this geeky, weird, fantastic podcast!!

Wabusdriver · Sep 2025

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.
