Here is why I appreciate Ross and Carrie 1. Sometimes you just want to take a break and listen to people who think like you do. It may be a little mean, but every once in a while, I get to laugh at people can believe ridiculous things. 2. That being said, they aren’t all that mean. Most of the...Read full review »

I am a scientist by education, scientist by profession and I live in the city of Darwin ( Northern Territory of Australia) named after one of the greatest scientists of them all. My car registration plates actually read DRWNIAN. But because of ONRAC i am now GAGGING to attend Contact in the...Read full review »

With a wide range of esoteric topics, Ross and Carrie are just skeptical enough, cynical enough, kind enough, honest enough, funny enough and intelligent enough to keep me tuning in each week.

Carrie and Ross have kept me entertained endless hours and offer wonderful insights into belief systems and spirituality.
leslie norp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/24
After years of subscribing and supporting, I’m out. It comes down to: Carrie defending pedophilia as a sexual orientation, her smug high school bully attitude, and her surprise screeching/yelling. There have been many fantastic episodes and it’s a great listen for lots of people, but the issues...Read full review »

Then this podcast is for you. I was really hoping to hear a researched and journalistic take on a spiritual cult… but honestly these 2 really just like to spend time gloating in their obvious intellectual superiority over the people they’re investigating. If that’s your thing then enjoy!

The hosts are entertaining, and I’ve enjoyed many of the episodes. That said, I was very disappointed in how routinely they misstate or misinterpret scientific findings to support their opinions. Occasionally, this includes making misleading health claims that could do actual damage. Of course,...Read full review »

Great show, the hosts have good banter. Topics are fun, don’t neglect the early episodes which offer deeper dives into well known cults.
JiPawd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/24
Been listening to these two for so long I don’t even know. They are so funny and their work is so solid!
MaddieApples via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/24
One of my favorite podcasts. I always stop whatever I’m listening to and switch to your newest episode to listen to it instead.
noNotTheOne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/24
If you want to explore the realms of pseudoscience, without falling victim to it, this is the podcast for you! The host are entertaining, without directly making fun of those who "make the claims".Read full review »

This is my favorite podcast. I’ve been listening for years and it’s so good still. Ross and Carrie are super open minded and fair to every investigation that they do. As a bonus I feel like I’ve learned a ton over the many years I’ve listened

Guys, when Carrie yells “Read Factfulness!”, do it. She’s right. I just finished it and it’s great. The podcast is cool too.
Harrison; via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
Kind of creeped me out when Carrie felt the need to go, “pedophilia is an orientation” in Sound of Freedom, while trying to differentiate from child sex abusers. Also they seem to be drifting into low-effort topics instead of looking into fringe religions like they used to.

Look forward to the “new year prediction” and “year end prediction review” episodes every year and this year did not disappoint!
spokcan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
Great show which really takes you through what entering a belief system that you don’t ascribe to is like. Very informative and quite funny. These two give an overly fair shake to everything they review and welcome the people to come and talk on the show after. Unfortunately people who ascribe to...Read full review »

Hey Tansy, I know you’ve been looking for a reliably funny-but-smart podcast to get into, so let me be the first (but certainly not the last) to sing for you the praises of ONRAC. It’s contemporary, it’s adorably dorky, it’s comforting, and its hosts navigate sensitive topics with equal parts...Read full review »
Morgaaaaaan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/24
I found these two hosts to be hard to listen to. In their episode on a Bashar event, they were consistent in their snide and demeaning remarks, which included jabs about age, body type, voice, and an Indie Gigi campaign. The hosts remind me of those kids in high school who made fun of everyone...Read full review »
Entropy II via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/24
It’s so rare you find a show that can have fun thinking about the paranormal and extraordinary without either believing it whole-cloth or mocking it. Ross and Carrie are genuinely open-minded and go into owl their investigations with a true curiosity even if they don’t walk away believing. But...Read full review »

I have listened to ONRAC for years now and am always impressed by how much I laugh and learn from these two. I appreciate their respect for their subjects and the open minds they exhibit during their investigations. I find it amusing that as a Evangelical Southern Baptist, this podcast, out of...Read full review »

Long time fan and the show has not lost its touch!
NullAvocado via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/23
I discovered this podcast quite late on as I was searching for content on the Ark Encounter. But I have thoroughly enjoyed listening through the back catalogue and the new episodes. My absolute favourite. Keep up the great work. 😀
Geordie Naitch via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/15/23
I’ve been a fan since I first discovered ONRAC while on a solo cross-country road trip in 2019. I was instantly hooked, and spent the majority of my remaining 30 hours of windshield time diving into their impressive back-catalog of adventures into the heart of so many corners of the world of...Read full review »

The backlog is just as fun and interesting as the current episodes. I love these two so much. They’ve been a comfort for years.
Emma3232323 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/23
I do like this podcast. They are both smart, likeable people who may have their own crosses to bear but it does seem like they do make some efforts to leave their biases behind when they look into different things. It can be quite funny at times too. I will however comment that I do find some of...Read full review »
Tej Turner via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/15/23
I was a huge ONRAC fan from the beginning through about 2020ish? I don’t have an exact episode where this started bugging me. I feel like some of their episodes where groups that are based on legends are “investigated,” it ends up sounding like two cis white people making fun of indigenous and...Read full review »
Em Stank via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/23
A wide variety of topics presented in a smart, thoughtful way. I really enjoy the relaxed, unscripted presentation by two people who use language so well, are naturally curious and do solid research. The follow-up episode on the child trafficking film was excellent but one note—seriously, TMI on...Read full review »

Enh
These two remind me of first year university students who have a little knowledge and very little wisdom.
UnibongerX via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/18/23
So to get this out of the way: I’m a Christian, I go to church and everything. I was attracted to this show because I love to learn about the beliefs of others, and I believe the best way to share the love of Jesus with people is to first understand their background. Well, Ross and Carrie may be...Read full review »
Mythic Potato via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/23
I am hooked on this podcast since I started listening. As a rationalist and scientist, I can barely listen to someone give me a 10-second summary of their horoscope without rolling my eyes, so the idea of attending one of these sessions strikes me as impossible. This is why their tag line speaks...Read full review »

ONRAC is always on the top of my list of podcasts I recommend to others.
MoogLoom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/23
I’ve been a regular listener since around 2015 and ONRAC remains my favourite. Ross and Carrie are great hosts and are always fun to listen to. As a scientist, I really appreciate the thoroughness of their investigations, their willingness to ask tough questions, and their compassion for all...Read full review »

This podcast has gotten me through writing some pretty boring reports at work. It’s funny and creepy and I genuinely have learned a lot. As a ex-content moderator, I’ve had a very one-sided view of conspiracy groups and claims of the paranormal. Carrie and Ross do a great job of humanising their...Read full review »

JDZM3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/23
I love Ross and Carrie and suggest them to anyone who asks for recommendations! I love how respectful they are towards anyone they feel are earnest in their beliefs, and how they give honest feedback about their experiences. 10/10!
Greyson Jason via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/23
They cover one topic over 6+ episodes and end a lot of them promising the next episode will have the interesting information. It doesn’t come. Kind of a podcast equivalent of getting paid per word. I understand they have to pay the bills but it gets really tedious after awhile.
Peaceisgood4u via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/23
Flavour Babies aside, informative entertainment from beautiful people
Nimbocrux via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/21/23
I love ONRAC - I used to believe in ghosts, psychics & what not but wow - I feel so “woke” now. They’re both so intelligent & for a dummy like me, I appreciate how they explain things in an easy to understand manner. I feel more informed now & feel like I can question things a lot...Read full review »
Moo Shoooo via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/26/23
This is a dangerous podcast. It’s two people taking 3rd party interpretations of some of other person that they’ve decided to speak down about. I listened to the Bashar episode. And they totally misquoted him in every kneecap shot they chose to take. This is a gross representation of how humans...Read full review »

Amazing how this podcast can be simultaneously so informative but also incredibly entertaining. Love Ross and Carrie and everything they do.
WakkyJ via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/19/23
The hosts are so fun, hilarious, and open minded :)
Doughbirdo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/13/23
I’ve been listening for at least 5 years, if not longer. Ross & Carrie are brilliant and very funny. Even with the depth and difficulty of some of the topics they cover this is one of my comfort shows (and I’ve listened through it at least 3 times). If you haven’t already tried it out I...Read full review »

Ross and Carrie are just straight up fun to listen to. They make me laugh, they make me think. This podcast has made me a better person.
SpencerJP via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/23
I listened to this show for a year or two and decided it wasn’t for me. The journalism and storytelling are great. What bothered me was how the premise was to secretly infiltrate whatever group was involved, gain their trust, then verbally kneecap them with a crow bar for the sake of laughs and...Read full review »
