“I enjoy hearing everything about things paleo. They say that opinions are not facts yet they act as if their opinions are facts. Stick to dino's. Also it's ok to eat meat.”Read full review »

“A good podcast- love it- but why are you so bent on disproving creationism? I don’t believe in traditional creationism myself, but also think that it is not moral to try to disprove the religions of others.”

For this 70+ year old paleo nerd, it’s re-sparked a fascination I thought long gone. A great...”Read full review »

I watched Land of the Lost - and and was enticed by the “realistic” magical world of clay dinos and plaster...”Read full review »
