“I never miss an episode. The variety of topics is astounding, and although not every one is mind-blowing in its own right, the discussion and general geeking out never fail to put a smile on my face.”

“Would they get to the subject, maybe I could enjoy.
But they’re talking about ANYTHING but the subject.
Why do podcasters think we care about their takes on their weekends?!?”

“Ken and John have a great dynamic and always put an interesting spin on the topic of the week. I love the side info on the Seattle area of Washington (where my wife is from) and Ken’s memories of living in Korea, where my family and I lived for many years.”

“A show where a sheltered trivia Mormon with a lateral lisp teams up with an ex addict/alcoholic that is entirely narcissistic and feels the need to prove himself talk about things and see who has a greater comeback. No humility here. Also learn how to correctly pronounce her name if you’re going...”Read full review »

“My husband and I plan our Tuesdays to listen to Omnibus. It’s one of the highlights of our week. We re-listen to old episodes all the time. Ken and John are entertaining, smart, funny, and down-to-earth.”

“Too much white racism. Apparently no other cultures and races are human and have feelings of racism. After reading the reviews on here, I mostly detect racism against white people. The hate and vitriol from these reviewers is astounding. So much hate towards one group of people…. I’m just asking...”Read full review »

“Love the show
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.”

“It's the perfect combination of information and nonsense.

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 »

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 »

Informative storytelling sandwiched between random but pleasant yammering? Yes, and that’s exactly what I want right now. Plus I feel...”Read full review »
