“When I first started listening to this podcast I wasn’t too impressed but I kept listening and it really grew on me and I have come to enjoy it.
In defense of SS, the low rating reviewers need to remember that this podcast is a light hearted affair. The Debbie downers should quit taking...”Read full review »

“I’ve always enjoyed useless info for its folksy, easy going charm. But I recoiled at Silverman laughing at a women assaulted by a depraved man who smeared cake frosting onto her body with his hands. That is sickening! Would he be laughing if such trauma happened to his wife or mother? I think...”Read full review »

“In an apparent effort to sound mysterious and suspenseful, the speaker ends up overdoing it. This gives the wonderful story a sing-song sound which is distracting. Maybe vary the voice tone and use the dramatic “cliffhanger” sentence for the ending.”

“This podcast takes you back to a different time in the world when the news could actually be informative and often a little funny and interesting instead of all the current doom and gloom we’re experiencing. The podcaster has a great voice and does tons of research to find just the right stories....”Read full review »

“Good niche of odds and ends from within the last century; done without resorting to the now obligatory swearing and cussing; and importantly, with no shrill desperate outrage that is currently trendy.
A little suggestion, however: the host needs to project his voice a lot more (or get a better...”Read full review »

“Well produced, fun, and interesting. There’s always something unusual.
Last episode I heard the word “pooch” so often it became meaningless to me, even moreso. That also was interesting.”

“I wish I had Steve as my science teacher in high school! He sounds like a really fun guy to hang with and nerd out over some obscure topic. Basically that is what it feels like I am doing when I listen; hanging out with Steve as he regales me with outlandish, amusing stories and anecdotes from...”Read full review »

“It’s hard for me to comprehend how a high school English teacher has never seen Sunset Boulevard. Amazing. Also, a teacher, this teacher, approves of eschewing great films both old and new because black and white films evidently bore some low attention span folks. Sunset Boulevard, don’t waste...”Read full review »
