Fascinating every week
I've been listening to Futility Podcast for just over a year now and it's become a podcast I look forward to every week.

The follow ups from listeners make the episodes more of a conversation with listeners, and the lateral thinking puzzles are just fun. I find myself yelling my questions in the car when Greg or Sharon seem to be going on the wrong track -- only to find I am lost in the weeds myself. Greg and Sharon are charming, personable hosts. There are no gimmicks here; just really interesting stories well researched and well told. I am so glad to get to be in on the conversation.Read full review »
