Customer Reviews
Very interesting.....
Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!
What a great idea
Interesting and digestible info by thoughtful and humorous presenters. Really enjoyed the one on dyslexia.
Worry about the facts, not your politics
Was interested in the Philly bombing episode and the whole episode is just Josh trying to victimize the MOVE members (abusing kids and harassing the community for years intentionally btw & then armed themselves and built a bunker)
Just give the facts? This clearly isn't cut-and-dry (see Chuck rolling his eyes at all Josh's comments), so stick to the facts
Based on this podcast, I can only say I wish they bombed these freaks earlier
