Very interesting.....

Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!

These guys feel like family. They’re weird, they’re funny, they’re lovable. This show is a staple in my life, and I can’t imagine anyone disliking the show. It’s for car rides, yard work, winding down, and even when you think the topic at hand couldn’t possibly be interesting - they prove you wrong. Give it a try.
Boring
