“Well I stumbled upon this podcast because Siri accidentally heard me say “Play boring news” 😂. And she started to play this podcast. Although it isn’t really news related this podcast, it is boring just as advertised🥱.
But it is boring in a soothing way.”

“Dear James- I’ve been waiting for you and your guest contributors to come back! I really miss the podcast and even have the episodes on the Dutch Paintings and Asterix on repeat when I’m having a difficult day. They make me laugh and relax me at the same time. Come back!!!”

“This podcast is the perfect mix of obscurity, borderline lunacy, and fascination--all wrapped up in a perfect little 15-20 min package.
If only it were still active....alas. Please bring the boring talks back!”

“So you think: ‘Why would any sane person want to know about pallets? Seriously?’ And then 15 minutes later: ‘Wow! I never knew pallets could be so amazing!’ This podcast is FANTASTIC. I don’t know how they do it, but it’s Just. So. Interesting.”

“It’s boring. It’s interesting. It’s the perfect balance. I have an issue with most podcasts that is advertised for sleeping because I usually get too interested and soaked up in the story or topic. But this podcast is perfect! It doesn’t make my eye roll and be like ‘this is totally useless and...”Read full review »

“I love this show because it helps me to get to sleep. And for the first time in my life helps me to sleep IN. It's not boring...I always go back and start the show again so that after a while I DO actually hear each episode in its entirety. And it's self deprecating humour at its best.”Read full review »

“(Where are the rest of the episodes? No more since mid 2020?)
I’ve always had an interest for uninteresting topics or random knowledge. This pod is perfect for that quest to know more about topics you don’t need to know about but are fascinated by once you do. I’ve been listening when I go out...”Read full review »

“Underneath it all, I think this podcast is about the uniqueness of every one of us. And yet, in every single episode, there is always something to empathise with... We are such a weird race, and here, our foibles are quietly celebrated. So random you never quite have a clue what’s coming next,...”Read full review »

“I thought this would be more of a boring ASMR type thing meant to help you sleep but instead it is truly quite captivating. You will want to hear each bit and detail. It is calming but once you start listening closely you will want to hear it to the end.
Well done. 👍🏻”
