“I've been listening to this podcast for years in the official site, but only now I am rating it here, because I was lazy and am totally cured now. It's perfect to listen while driving, showering, walking, not-working, not-studying etc. I absolutely love this podcast, it's concept and community....”Read full review »

“Extremely overdue review! I've been listening to these guys for 7 years - my very own Monday tradition.
iTunes classifies me as a UK resident here but I am French, and working hard on building a continental audience for Overthinking It - Allez! Écoutons tous "Les Surpenseurs"!!
PS: when is the...”Read full review »

“Sometimes it's good sometimes it's not. Sometimes they touch on great subjects and sometimes they just seem drunk and talking over each other. They also end each point with "right?" Which is really annoying, right? Right? Right? Right? Just because you ask if you're right doesn't makes your point...”Read full review »

“iTunes is telling me I already reviewed this podcast five years ago, but since I have listened to every episode since then (usually the day it comes out) and I’ve gone back and listened to all previous episodes (and then re-listened), I thought it was time to review it again. Five stars! Best...”Read full review »
