“It’s so awesome that they invite different guests from different aspects. Some gets technical, some are just hangin out, chilling, chinwagging. The energy is always awesome. It’s information, funny and entertaining. Love it. Thank you, Team Chinwag.”

“One of my new favorites though I think I have listened since day one (or two). Thank you for the sci-fi book recommendations in a recent mini episode. I hit a few of the used book stores in the Harrisburg, Pa area and found a few. You should do an episode which touches on the Kecksburg UFO...”Read full review »

“A podcast I didn’t know I needed, delving into topics I’ve always been interested in, like the occult, cryptids, ghosts, UFOs, and other esoterica in an unapologetic, endearing fashion. One of my favorite actors is the co-host, Paul Giamatti. It’s a nice surprise that he’s so interested in this...”Read full review »

“Love the Chinwag. These two are a great combination. Goofy, yet super interesting. Great topics. And really enjoy the bonus of paul reading the classics stories.
And a great drinking game…
- 1 drink when paul says “interesting “
- 2 drinks when paul says “fascinating “”
