Think "Funny Snopes"
If you've ever found yourself either hearing or (heavens forbid) delivering a "well known" nugget of medical advice, scientific fact, or historical tidbit, odds are neither of you have listened to Rumor Flies. These guys take all of the classic "friend of a friend" anecdotes head on, discussing where they came from, whether or not they're REMOTELY plausible (spoiler alert: usually not), and musing on why they still manage to get passed on. The overall feel of the show strikes a great balance: it's relaxed without being packed with the cluttered conversations and awkward silences that plague too many podcasts, and it's informative without droning the listener into a mid-episode snooze. The chemistry between hosts maintains an amusing, lighthearted feel throughout each episode. It also has a solid production quality (It's a quirk of mine, but if a podcast sounds like it's being recorded on an iPhone placed in the middle of a bathroom stall, I tune out QUICKLY). For anyone interested in discovering new music, the episodes are endcapped with a musical guest (of whom permission is asked first. Good form, RF!). Give these guys a listen. You won't be disappointed.Read full review »

These guys are awesome. The premise is easy to do poorly but they really do the research and do the topics justice.
