What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve tried listening to many podcasts, but it seems that the majority consist of way too much needless banter and too little research and topic exploration. Not so with this one. At least with core episodes, the hosts seldom banter and really dive deep into each topic. You can tell the hosts painstakingly research the topics they discuss. They also have clear, soothing voices.

Love this podcast and have been listening for years. It’s my go to show to relax while still learning something. Wanted to add that initially always skipped weirdhouse cinema however I started listening and really enjoy these episodes as well. The hosts’ voices are so calming and their banter is nice. Please keep up the great work!!

Catbughero · Jan 2026

I honestly love this podcast and don’t want you to take it the wrong way, but the combination of fascinating topics and soothing tone of voice from both Joe and Rob I use this podcast to drift to sleep almost every night. It’s insane how well it works. But the disruptive commercials can wake me back up, is there ANY way to get episodes with no break? Consider it an important health boost for your listener base!!

Papatrick hammertime · Nov 2025

This is my favorite podcast. I never listened to podcasts and this was my first. I have since explored more but this still remains my number one. Robert and Joe make ANYTHING interesting. Dust? Yes. Trees? Yes. Movies I will never watch? Yes! I love this show and I appreciate everything all of these people do!

Horatius Maximus · Jun 2025

Yet another good podcast ruined by iHeart. I have had to unsubscribe to so many of my old favorites which I had listened to for years because they have been chopped up into tiny pieces and wedged between huge ads. Not only that, but the ads tend to be mainly about other iHeart podcasts that I am not interested in. Back in the days when the hosts read the ad copy, I really didn’t care what the ads were about. I listened to them because I liked their voices. Now the injected ads send me snapping around to fast forward though them even if I would like to learn about the product, because the voices, music, and sound effect seem to be tuned to reach me if I have walked away from a TV and out of the room. I listen with headsets and this ads hurt my ears. I tried to keep my phone near me so I could quickly skip the ads, but I am so tired of that now. So … so long guys and thanks for the memories.

Margrad · Jul 2022

Now, I used to love this show. It was the only thing I listened to. But now there are about twelve ads at the beginning middle and end of every episode and I find that intolerable. I haven’t listened to this show for the past year and a half and have since started listening to The Exploring Series and DnD campaigns rather than an hour of ads with occasional facts.
