Customer Reviews
Good premise but could be better
Some good skeptical content but often overpowered with smug socialist remarks without actual discussion supporting their beleifs or the problems inherent in their philosophy.
Funny and informative
Science, current affairs, technology news topped with comical sarcasm and occasional swearing.
Despite the lame name and this being podcast, the production values and quality of content are high.
I skip the odd report that's boring to me
I little slow.
It sounds like a bad audiobook. I havent really listened long, but Im wondering why I should. If I want an audiobook format I will listen to one, perhaps by someone like Dawkins, Hitchens, or Russel. Im looking for a fun and entertaining show at least some.
Episode one made me thirsty! ;-)
