Customer Reviews
A feast for the brain.
I absolutely adore these podcasts. Such witty, well constructed segments, they're an absolute pleasure to listen to.
If you're sick of the bombardment of tabloid/ Kardashian trash and crave a better class of shenanigans ( where you'll learn something cool too) The Infinite Monkey Cage is just what you need.
I love the way Ince is always making fun of Cox's Wonders Of The Universe series. Oh so funny.
It will also have you pondering this question: " When is a strawberry dead?" ... Good luck with that one :-)
A new take on old ideas. Worthwhile.
Worthwhile.
Insightful and clever..Can't wait for more
Very compelling. Insightful ... Thought provoking delivered with a flavour of comedy that left me wanting more. Great job!
