Customer Reviews
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!
Great listening
Just wanted to say this pod is always a great listen…especially when the weightier issues cod the current day becomes overwhelming. As an aside Josh mentioned purchasing a Ken Burns documentary. You can stream PBS shows by downloading their app and, of course, becoming a contributing member to your local PBS channel. Keep up the great job guys.
Interesting & enlightening podcast!
Please don’t let the haters change this lovely podcast. Real people laugh/chuckle/titter at funny things 🤷🏻♀️
I really love SYSK & look forward to every new or old episode! You two crazy guys explain complex information so just about anyone can understand & someone super smart will not be bored, along with fun banter. I learn something new all the time. Thank you & keep going strong! Stay safe 💞
