One suggestion …
“Rocky Horror Picture Show”
I saw it back around 1979, I think. My daughter saw it a couple times. In 2024. Toast. Rice. Dialog. This is perfect for youse guys.”

“I don’t get the people angry about them taking so long to get to the topic. They’re entertainers, if you want a list of facts Google it, ding dongs.
I listen and re-listen to Omnibus daily.
John is so human that I sometimes forget how smart he is. The mispronunciations, the cryptic allusions...”Read full review »

“Meant to be intelligent.
Their egos have caused them to be sucked in to the pile on of the greatest technologist and engineer in human history.
Their based envy recorded for all time.”

“Always a rollicking good time. Extra emphasis on the horror that is white people, as well as the horror that is beavers. Both groups being fully bent on fashioning the world exactly into what THEY want it to be.”

“Hard to believe I’ve been enjoying this podcast since 2017 and have been a proud Patreon supporter since the pandemic. Doing my civic duty as a fan to push down white supremacists and concern trolls.”

“John & Ken deliver a warm and funny reading of unique and far flung tidbits from recent history,
powered by their enjoyable banter, liberally sprinkled with tales of John’s long-ago walking trip across Europe, WWII airplanes, Gen Ex / Millennial adjacent pop culture and occasional mentions...”Read full review »

“It's the perfect combination of information and nonsense. In my opionion, the best podcasts are the ones where you learn something, and the ones where you're just listining to friends having a good conversation; this one is both. As a Seattle-area native, it's also suprisingly...”Read full review »

“As many of the reviews state, it’s a roiling cesspool of drivel and unrelated chatter that wanders like a unwatched, intact bloodhound. Sometimes it takes 40 mins to get to the topic itself. They’re semi-offensive to countless cultures including those of all color and continent including...”Read full review »

“Each episode gives a glimpse into a very specific bit of ephemera from history. The topic is discussed with intelligent, and not precious, humor.
One of the hosts was “canceled” at a point in the past for suggesting his daughter should know how to use a can opener. The other is the 2nd name...”Read full review »

“Omnibus has been the highlight of my weekly podcast rotation for years now. Its strangely rare to have access to Gen X voices; John and Ken never disappoint.
The weekly dynamic always puts me in mind of late night conversations with sadly absent friends.
Thanks for keeping the show alive...”Read full review »

“I could only listen to so much racism towards white people. After listening to 200+ episodes that I loved based on the content, it was hard to get past the constant degradation of all things white (particularly white southern) people have ever done. Literally every show has overtones of how bad...”Read full review »

“My regular ‘learn a history lesson’ pods were giving me the sads and somehow I stumbled on this gem. Super duper detailed? No, but I can go elsewhere for that. Informative storytelling sandwiched between random but pleasant yammering? Yes, and that’s exactly what I want right now. Plus I feel...”Read full review »
