“This podcast is interesting and well-written. The title is just not appropriate for the content. Most episodes are about rare or niche things, definitely not everyday things.”

“This podcast is so general that it is worthless. You THINK you are getting some nugget of wisdom but it is another airball.
On the episode about animal urine there wasn’t much discussion of the conditions for the animals whose urine was collected. This is unconscionable and tacitly supports...”Read full review »

“Love this podcast! It succinctly answers many of the questions that have quickly passed through my mind during my day-to-day life, and it also answers so many of the questions I’ve never even thought to ask. Highly recommend!”

“Zachary is a great host, I love the topics he covers and the questions he asks. I appreciate that he tells the listener when an ad is coming instead of doing the ad abruptly like other podcasts. The shows are the perfect length as well. I get so excited when I see a new episode.”

“Some are more sensationalist, such as the recent on on sex scenes. It was more gossip versus economics. Obviously a trade off for clicks.”

“This show is the number 1 podcast that both my 11-year-old and 14-year-old would listen to on car rides. It’s fun and educational. The subjects are unusual and they are truly about “everyday things”. Please make an episode about the latest viral trend on Stanley cups!”

“Interesting show but most of the topics are not everyday at all. Should be called the the economics of obscure things. As such the rules of economics are pretty warped.”

Nothing about Bill Gates, John Kerry, all the ‘important’ people flying to Davos on private planes, to talk about ‘climate crisis’ and come with...”Read full review »

“You never know what episode topic will be next. The subjects are so wide-ranging. They are sometime about curiosities, but more often about answers to questions we always wondered about. The stories are compact, but never sound like a simple Wikipedia style eplanation.”

“It’s short. It’s interesting. It’s well produced. It’s very similar to planet money (which I also enjoy), but with a slightly less newsy, slightly less technical vibe. I may actually like this show better.
I was so disappointed to hear that no more are coming out in the immediate future. I very...”Read full review »
