“They come at some well trod podcast topics from interesting angles and add new information I hadn’t heard before AND cover topics I’ve never heard discussed. I got here via that Sight and Sound episode recommended on the Blank Check subreddit. I bounced around through some other topics I was...”Read full review »

“I never miss an episode. These 2 raconteurs can stretch a yarn out for my entire commute
Edit: John purposely mispronounces anything he can. Don’t be mad, it’s a bit, and when you know that it becomes funny”

“Began April 1, 1963. Just learned this from Luke and Laura on general hospital episode. That was my sixth birthday being born on April 1, 1957!

“I found this through the late Friendly Fire podcast, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. The banter between John and Ken are great and I never feel like there is never a dull moment. I learn a lot of trivia as well. Their Patreon is also really great and I love the addendum episodes.”

“• I snort-laughed 4 times during this episode.
• I also learned the names of 2 great, but fictional demons (improvised, believe).👺👹
• I ALSO also learned the name of a fictional, elderly (but accomplished), blind blues player.
• I even learned that America’s great, festering cultural divide is...”Read full review »

“This is, by far, my favorite podcast. The range and depth of topics, the wittiness of the hosts, the laid-back conversation all contribute to an enjoyable hour or so twice a week.
If you like the trivial, the obscure, the fascinating, the quirky, you will find no better destination for your ears.”
