A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

My wife and I wait for weeks and binge listen to these! We love how they introduce various perspectives and ideas on fascinating topics. The funny rapport the hosts have coupled with the subtle call to think leaves us always wanting more.

Road burn70 · Dec 2024

I’ve listened to each episode at least twice. Well researched and informative. And the ads (the guys do) are freaking hilarious . Boom.

jea P · Nov 2024

For many years I liked a certain theorizing podcast. But as the episodes ticked by, the hosts got more and more annoying. One host in particular, should have never been allowed to join the core crew. He single-handedly ruined that podcast. One day, enough was enough. I would never listen again. I was in the lurch with regards to a cool conspiracy podcast. Enter theories of the 3rd kind. Unlike the other podcast, every member of the team does research, they don’t ‘try’ to be funny and they don’t make lame annoying “jokes” constantly. I’m so happy I found this podcast. The topics are interesting, they have good flow between everyone taking. Well done. Well done.

Wackoweber · Oct 2024

I love a good conspiracy theory I like hearing all the different points of View. The hosts go out of their way to present all different angles to each issue that they talk about.They give you as many perspectives, scour the web, and the inter-web for all facts and findings, and do an extreme amount of research to each topic they present. And break down the material so, even if you’ve never heard of this theory before you have a baseline. And can learn something this podcast will also inspire you to start doing your own research and digging into these topics even more 10 out of 10

Cait O’Neill · Sep 2024

I used to be obsessed with this podcast, now you instinctively have to fast forward roughly 5 minutes to get to whatever topic the guys are talking about. I’m also disgruntled with the fact that the regular shows are just blah fillers at this point. I’m assuming you guys put all your efforts and depth into your Patreon shows now? (Also previous Patreon member for over a year) I’m just really disappointed because this podcast is what initially got me into listening to podcast in general. Please do better and stop dicking around.

_brickie_ · Nov 2024

I was a huge fan of this podcast and was a patron member was many years. It was the best podcast out there but when the guys started doing Videos I believe the quality of the content they were researching was starting to get bad. Now it’s gotten to the point where they don’t even release episodes when promise . I just feel like they took on too much, and now the quality of their podcast was affected, so because of it I canceled my Patreon membership I would have rather them not do videos and just focus on the quality of their work.sorry guys …
