Long time listener- You CAN NOT give a graphic rape description without disclosing it. It made me so upset to hear about this form of rape AND as I’m falling asleep. I didn’t even know that was possible. Gross. Inappropriate and not expected from you. Shame on you for telling me about how these graphic rapes are performed - with the cuts and stds and aids. That’s what these guys shared. I’m not okay with this. So disappointed.

We’ve been listening to this podcast for a long time. In the beginning we really enjoyed it however recently a lot of random banter and the topic is barely touched. May try again down the road. Hopefully it turns around.

If sure there’s a reason but not gonna lie, very off putting for long time listeners. Sorry guys

I’ve been listening for years now and gotta say, these guys doing ozempic ads makes me think of them and their opinions differently

Fun fact, the Regan admin relied heavy on it too!

I really love this show and I find it to be lighthearted, but very informative. They take a balance approach when talking about a subject, and don’t fear into far off theories.. However, the intuit ad with the girl is very weird , slightly sexual, and extremely annoying. It’s very annoying when dozing off to sleep or enjoying the podcast to hear a loud family girl type voice suggesting you should use into it so that you can get more of her. Bizarre and very off putting.

SAD is not delightful to speak-it’s insensitive. You guys really should try practicing and spend less time searching for poor/choice words.

Intelligent conversation around compelling stories from funnier-than-they-have-any-right-to-be gentlemen. The episodes never seem as long as the ticker.

I just found your podcast. I really liked the topics. However, the episode I’m listening to now is insufferable. Why do we need a bunch of statistics and lists.I don’t need to know what % of India lives in large cities. I also don’t need you to explain to me that Europe and Asia are big vans diverse. Get over yourselves and talk about the topic you promised. The topic of the podcast is amazing and timely… but it’s done so much better on other podcasts

I have listened to the podcast since 2017 but this is my first written review. I enjoy the banter along with the topics. Keep it up and thank you for your interested content!

I truly love this podcast, from the useless knowledge to make others laugh or the current happenings of the world. They are my favorite podcast to listen and debate them as I drive. Thank you, Fae

Why so many Classics in a row? Is covering topics of relevance being threatened? These days it wouldn’t be surprising.

7 minutes of straight ads before you say “hello”? You don’t even start talking about the subject until 20 minutes in! You just use filler between the 7 min-20 min mark. Here’s a tip! Don’t make every episode this way. EVERY SINGLE EPISODE IS LIKE THIS

Tried an episode regarding Malaysia Flight 370. Hosts had inane drivel like planes being faster than walking and airport security taking a long time…. Truly “Stuff they don’t want you to know.”

Best. Podcast. Ever. <3 these guys!

It has become a take it or leave it in my podcast list. Can you lay off the stupid reverb? This has become a thing lately. Many of us simply enjoy the topicality and discussions, and there really is no need for these dramatic effects. IMO it doesn’t help, it annoys.

Why has the show added sound effects to it constantly. I’m trying to listen and sounds like in a cartoon now

best hosts they are very funny and kind. if you dont like them then take your business elsewhere. nobody needs to harp on them for being a little bit immature

This show is very close to resembling 1930’s Germany. Except these woke boot lockers can’t fight. Im done with the whiny snowflakes who can’t lose for once. Get a grip and behave yourselves before you burn down Burger King and loot. Unfollow SS naturally i can never listen or be friends with anyone who disagrees with because they are simply subhuman. Im moving to a real country i can sneak into and get paid.

The episodes are 75% ads. Don’t waste your time.

I am really interested in the topics but get turned off by the fraternity type jokes and innuendo. Give us the facts without the back room jokes

Read the title.

Hey guys long time listener here and fellow Atlanta native! Although I really like you guys, the show is not what it used to be. I honestly feel like you guys tread way too lightly around topics and really only cover tip of the iceberg conspiracies. I highly recommend you guys do deeper dives and cover more possibilities.

Don’t listen to anyone who has complaints. This is thee conspiracy podcast. The best one. I have never heard any political talk other than historical references. But I don’t go looking to get offended either. Best voices. Fun hosts. Great storytelling. Pay attention to what matters. The storytelling. Skip ahead on whatever doesn’t suit your fancy.

I listened for about 7 years and told everyone it was my favorite podcast. I can no longer tolerate Noels slanted political conjecture. Everything is a leftist talking point and it has become part of almost every episode. I will miss Matt and Ben’s prospective. I learned a lot. Good luck!

They suffer from the same things that BTB does where they fall over themselves to insert leftist talking points into every episode and are afraid to challenge anything that would go against mainstream thinking even though you can tell they want to. In the Nigerian forest horror episode instead of getting right into it talking about the kidnapping and organ trafficking they talk about how bad the west is for causing Nigeria to become this. They ask you to be sad for the organ traffickers like come on. They talk about people getting cut up in Nigeria and somehow they bring up the bible? Come on.

You lost me on your total bias…stop!

Not enough investigation of clearly strange events. Soft takes on everything. Some interesting subject matter but nothing too out of the ordinary. All been done before

Insufferable and unfunny hosts.

I’ll start with the pros: -These guys are clearly intelligent, well-spoken, and generally well researched on each topic -Wide range of topics to pick and choose from -Many other “conspiracy” podcasts try so hard to make their show into a comedy. Stupid puns, “funny” voices and hyena laughter, basically turning serious/interesting topics into a fart joke. This show doesn’t do that The cons: -I haven’t read any other reviews but I’m sure 90% of them mention the loud and excessive ads. And all of them are about “examining the silenced queer and indigenous voices that made the French Revolution possible” or similar. -For guys that discuss fringe and conspiratorial topics, these guys have NO curiosity about anything that could possibly go against the mainstream talking points. Anything they think could even remotely be considered a non-left-wing position is immediately dismissed or not even discussed. I’m non-partisan but their bias shows in everything they do which makes many topics imbalanced. -They pretend to be non-political, but whenever a Trump news story drops they’ll give a non-committal statement straight off of Reddit that is like “we don’t talk about politics but that’s a big yikes from me, friendo” I really have tried to give this show a chance and I sometimes come back to it since there are so few alternatives, but until the above is fixed, you’re better off looking for something else

These hosts…..

Get over prisoners working fire lines. The tax payers foot the bill for hundreds of free benefits for incarcerated people. They get better benefits than myself and I work hard and don’t commit crimes. Let them work for something for a change maybe they will appreciate all the handouts. But likely not.

They have ads like they have episodes

I gave this review 5 stars because I don’t want to burn you with the metrics, but my honest review would be 2 stars . In the last few months you guys have had a lot of “skips.” I’ve also listened to several shows and after the first 10 minutes tapped out due to boredom. The ad breaks are Incredibly long now, but I ff. If the powers that be are trying to take the show in a new direction, it’s not working for me :( update 12/20/24. I just can’t anymore, used to love it. Every episode needs a trigger warning for DV, child abuse, animal abuse, etc. the episodes used to be very interesting and “well told.” Finally unfollowing because every episode is just a bummer to listen to.

The overall idea of this podcast and subject matter has so much potential but currently it’s a circle jerk of egos between three guys. Not to mention the amount of ads to content makes it impossible to enjoy. Save some time and just go on Wikipedia.

I was excited to find this podcast and was really hoping it would be fun and fact based. I listened to a few before I figured out it was superpartisan and then all their credibility went out the window. I miss entertainment that isn’t designed to manipulate people’s political opinions. It has all the ingredients of a show that could be awesome, but sadly they just couldn’t resist.

Started the podcast years back was awesome extremely non-biased. Great topics along with episodes.. and then political opinion starts chiming in as to be expected not a big deal, but when a Democrat office comes in it is crickets but yet when the previous administration was in all they can do is nitpick nitpick nitpick. Will now low and behold now powers have changed again and after years of no political input now two shows, deep here we go. You guys are great, Ben very knowledgeable, Noel is kinda your younger opinion, and Matt at first for me was hard to relate to but was the ( parent ) side comes out for sure relatable. Keep in mind this is just my opinion, I do wish you guys the best and you old shows will be missed…

I really love this show and the team(not just the hosts) that create it. Like some other reviews have mentioned, there are quite a few ads, but I give this show a B++!

The show is great for both fact checking and also correcting incorrect statements/information in episodes as more facts get reported. The team (not just the hosts) bring great value to the show especially during some of the more daunting/down episodes.

Citizen Wang 😈

The topics are so interesting that I don’t think I’ve skipped a single one.

But now I see it for the scam that is. These guys basically read a Wikipedia page and crank out a podcast. But hey, it does have 7 to 10 minutes of commercials in a 35 minute show.

I’ve been listening to Ben, Matt, Noel, and all my fellow listeners for close to a decade. They’re thoughtful in delivery and do a comprehensive job speaking about a broad array of topics. I’m never bored listening to them and it always feels like a conversation with a friend.

I played this show because I wanted to hear 1.5 hrs of continuous audio advertisements… I was outraged to discover that the show was ruined by a solid 14 whole minutes of conspiracy content… Do Better!

Used to listen to them a lot more. Unfortunately most of the content isn’t very interesting and the delivery is somewhat cringeworthy. I will occasionally come back and scroll the feed trying to find interesting topics, only to find that I lose interest part way into whatever episode(s) I’ve downloaded. A solid “C” of a podcast.

Do you realize that one of the ads playing during your show is set up to sound like a continuation of your content, and is pushing the discredited 2020 election fraud claims? I know you don’t control your ads, but this seems pretty opportunistic

The topics would be interesting but the ads are RIDICULOUS. They discuss a topic for a minute or two and then ads for a minute or two, repeat. Sorry, cant deal with it.

How many times are you guys gonna use the word “esoteric”? You’re trying too hard.

I used to enjoy listening, but now it’s more ad than podcast. No.

This podcast would totally be my thing but after one episode I couldn’t bring myself to listen to more. The episodes seem to be 90% just ads. Back to back. No breaks. And then maybe 2 minutes interesting conversation followed by 6 Minutes of ads. The episode I played didn’t even start until 5 minutes into it, before that it was all ads. I get ads are important for a podcast but this is ridiculous.
