Miss this show.

I really wish this podcast would return. It truly was my favorite podcast. The hosts really knew how to combine information and artistic design in a spectacular fashion. Please come back. You’re sorely missed.

Terrific Pod

Inventive, informative and greatly entertaining. Such a neat idea and terrifically executed. Can’t wait for the next season. 👍🏻

Well thought out and interesting!

These guys put a lot of work into the presentation and research of the topics that they cover, and they never seem to miss. You will learn a lot about things you never knew existed, or that you were even interested in. One of the top podcasts out here!
