1. Chewbacca - The truckers from Minnesota probably saw first hand the after effects of the , gallon radioactive sludge that came down the river from Monticello nuclear plant spill that has been happening since November . Very scary stuff. Milling companies along that river. Bread flour milling. That is why aging infrastructure neede to be addressed. Not just roads. Bridges, plants, levees all need upgrades. Anyway, they are trying to say it’s safe. How can radioactive waste be safe? Bologna

2. Deep thoughts - Your guest attempts to debunk Darwin yet when someone tells him Bigfoot doesn’t exist he says do your research. The show is entertaining for a while but… It’s over man it’s over. And why are all your followers on social media patriotic Americans who love Trump? Maybe they believe he’s a great president the same way they believe big foots are real…

3. I frickin’ love this podcast! - Hooked from day one! It’s so intriguing to hear these people’s stories, so much more interesting than watching some sensationalized “mockumentary”. Most of these people sound sincere, maybe a couple of them I doubted, but overall these stores are fascinating and I’m not sure I can ever camp in the woods alone again now. I’ve always believed Sasquatch exists and I know people who have found trace evidence and heard them. Absolutely enjoying this podcast! Thank you.

4. Wes is always a breath of fresh air - The people Wes interviews are brave souls to speak about their adventures with Sasquatch. I cannot imagine what I’d do in their place, seeing or hearing a creature many folks say doesn’t exist. Sasquatch Chronicles provides a platform for each of them to speak publicly. Wes has the greatest respect for his guests. He’s supportive & encouraging, especially with Veterans, and gives them the opportunity to speak about their time serving our country in addition to telling of their encounters. This podcast isn’t about the host. It’s informative & entertaining and presented by a man with a big heart. His style of podcast offers listeners a chance to experience a Sasquatch encounter from each guest’s personal perspective.
2023-02-04

5. Thought Provoking - Wes is an awesome host in that he allows the guest to tell their stories without interrupting the flow of their account. Incredible and sometimes terrifying accounts of Sasquatch in one place. I can listen to these all day and it’s always great to learn new information or detail from peoples accounts.

6. Best podcast hands down - Wes your podcast is amazing! You do a great job and your interviewing style is very professional. I always look forward to new episodes and often listen to old episodes. Takes courage to do what you do. Some people just can’t handle the truth. Keep doing what you are doing brother!!!
2023-01-03

7. Best podcast by far if you are interested in the subject of Bigfoot! - Always a great eye witness story being told. Wes… “ the host of the show “ does a really great job. I like and appreciate his style as an interviewer. He lets the witness tell there story with little to no interruption. When he does speak with the witnesses, he asks good and intelligent questions. It makes the listening experience fun/interesting. He speaks with a genuine and professional feel. I have been listening to this podcast for several years now, and I’m always excited for a new episode. I listen to a few other podcasts on the subject of Bigfoot/Sasquatch and SASQUATCH CHRONICLES is to me hands down my favorite.
2022-12-23

8. Best Bigfoot podcast - Sasquatch Chronicles is simply the best. Wes is an excellent host with a genuine care for each guest he interviews. Been listening for years and I find every episode a thrilling, compelling and entertaining listen before bed. Helps me with my insomnia- something about listening to ppl talk and tell a story that is so unusual keeps my mind from thinking on a million other things and can just relax and enjoy it. And for that I’m grateful for this podcast!! Definitely worth listening to.

1. Farmer and a fan - Absolutely love the examination of diet and climate! I did feel that there may have been an over emphasis on methane, maybe. It’s been a minute since my focus turned from academia to farming, but my understanding was that methane, while x more potent as a GHG, dissipated much more quickly than carbon. Also, there was no mention of organic ag’s focus on organic matter in the soil and whether or not that sequestration of carbon has any effect. I really hope you do more episodes on the topic and dig down deep into what we consume and it’s effects on the environment. Keep doing what you do!
2023-01-12

2. Amazing Show - Minor Feedback - I love O/I and how it engages the listener in seemingly everyday tasks and scenes that one can often overlook. There’s beauty around every turn. It’s there for us to see with a bit of patience and a curious mind. The O/I team seeks to cultivate that mentality and encourage deep engagement on natural ecosystems. My only real feedback is in the opening theme. The show producers have received this feedback before but I feel it’s my obligation to reemphasize. The show opens with the phrase “… is about the natural world and how we use it” or something along those lines. This showcases a western philosophical perspective on nature. As an entity separate from humanity; here at our leisure to control and dominate. The phrasing almost suggests nature’s purpose is to serve human interests. Land and water to pillage and exploit. Quite anthropocentric. O/I makes a consist effort to engage with the perspectives of POC and indigenous peoples. Something I appreciate, especially as a POC. I’m not indigenous, but recently completed some reading highlighting my own ignorance and shed some light some common themes amongst indigenous peoples of North America. The research presented the indigenous view of humanity as a part of nature. A participant in natural cycles and ecosystems. Not above or outside of it. Some indigenous land care practices completed over generations isn’t even centered around human need but rather what was identified for the overarching benefit of an ecosystem. My point being, I do not believe words describing nature as a tool for humanity truly promotes the values of this podcast or a healthy view of the natural world. I’d suggest investigating other opening lines to take its place. I will continue listening. Take care Tariq

3. I’ve been listening for a while and love this show! - Such interesting stories. I like this podcast because it doesn’t stick to any one outdoors or science topic—It is very… varied! Each episode offers a unique bit of content. Most of which can’t be found on other shows. It feels at times like Radiolab, and other times like a sporting show. Well produced as well.
2022-01-22

4. Abrupt endings - I love the podcast, but I feel like the endings can be abrupt. For instance, the episode about Jennie Bender - she didn’t make the Olympic team and they interviewed the head of US Ski/Snowboard, then done. I would like to know what she Jennie is doing now, is she still skiing at all? This isn’t the only episode where I feel like the ending is abrupt, just the most recent one I listened to.
2021-06-03

5. Speaks to my NH Soul - Love this show so much. I was born and raised in NH but it was actually a friend with no NH connection at all that recommended the show to me. I live outside New England now, and I love that although this show covers a wide array of subjects, many of the stories center on my home state. The reporting is thorough, interesting, and reflective. Huge fan of everyone who makes this show.
2020-10-28

6. Always interesting - This is a favorite for me, because their subjects are so broad and dynamic. The concept of the natural world and how we live in it gives the team a chance to really explore a variety of ideas. Well researched and entertaining even if you’re not sure you will find the topic interesting. Keep up the good work!
2020-10-15

7. Adore it - You know a local podcast is good when someone who doesn’t even live remotely in the same area listens weekly. I find this show very applicable to the real world. The hosts are warm and witty but data driven as well. The topics are unique yet important and the storytelling is clear and entertaining. I am a teacher and I’ve certainly brought up some things I learned on the show.
2020-08-11

8. So so good - It’s good for your brain! It also makes you laugh or maybe cry or take suspenseful breaths. They highlight other great podcasts so you can keep exploring. Incredibly smart storytelling and in-depth reporting. Timeless and relevant. I love sharing the stories I hear on Outside/In with friends and students.

1. My go-to podcast - I’ve been listening to Tony since the beginning of the confessionals. Me jumping into podcast listening coincides with Tony starting the confessionals. I happened to stumble upon his podcast looking for a good paranormal and conspiracy show. I was instantly hooked. I love it. I need to become a member because ep a wk isn’t near enough. Tony is a major player in me realizing my paranormal and conspiracy beliefs line up perfectly with the Christian faith I was raised on, and it brought me back into the fold and caused me to realize the reality of the spiritual realm. Keep it up Tony and thanks for all the hard work and great content.
2023-03-22

2. Best podcast ever - Except for when I was a member and decided to unsubscribe from membership because Tony can be very pompass at times. His personality isn’t for everyone when he gets in his attitude mode. I just won’t spend my extra $ on someone like that to live a better life. His opinions can come off very narcissistic. HOWEVER, that’s only the bad. Tony is an amazing podcaster with excellent content for the most part when he isn’t constantly turning subjects into his own stuff. All. The. Time. I do love the podcast and content. I even mostly like Tony and think he’s great. Just not someone I could personally get along with in real life cuz our personality’s would clash. That has nothing to do with the podcast tho, hence, stars. Would give more if I could.
2023-02-28

3. Going Downhill Sadly… - I used to LOVE this podcast when it was all topics high strangeness, but the last year has increasingly been more about Christianity. It’s rare now that Tony puts on anything that does not revolve around Christianity. And he’s getting a bit preachy too. Now he is talking about God telling him to do a podcast. I had to turn it off, please get back to your roots Tony. Your going to lose a chunk of your fan base.
2023-02-21

4. Found Podcast on Long Drive - Really enjoy the interview format and story telling. Probably wasn’t the best idea to start with episode Desert Cult driving in the middle of nowhere in the middle of night. But couldn’t wait to see how it ended. Great work will add follow and keep listening to more!
2023-02-17

5. Taking advantage of peoples ignorance. - The show? Sure monsters, whatever that’s fine, connects it to religion usually. The problem I have is he’s pushing adds like: buy this garbage product it will protect you from an EMP attack… what? That’s not how it works, it’s on the level of pushing silver water as a miracle cure. Snake oil, low morals.
2023-02-15

6. Not What I Was Expecting - I thought this was going to be a show about the paranormal, but it’s really a show about the paranormal for hardcore Christians. Every episode revolves around Jesus: everything is a demon. And that’s fine. I just thought it was a podcast about the paranormal. But if you’re not a Christian, it’s hard to follow the conversations, because religion is central to everything. Live your truth, but it’s hard to approach the paranormal when you don’t have an open mind.
2023-02-14

7. My first Podcast - I have never been much of a podcast listener and couldn’t even tell you what they had to offer.. until I ran across tony on YouTube and ever since I was hooked! No only was I hooked on tc I was also introduced to many other equally fantastic podcasts! You hold fast to your faith but allow room for the unknown, you welcome and accept anyone with a story they wish to share ! Couldn’t be better! Keep going Tony! Michelle.S
2023-02-11

8. Great minus the pooches - This is probably my current favorite podcast. My only complaint the constant obsession with the most boring of the paranormal - dogmen. Every episode is mention of a werewol…I mean dogman and a plug for something dogman related, which I understand. Personally I just skip the mutt heavy ones along with ones starring other podcasters, authors, etc. When it’s regular call-ins from people who aren’t selling a book or promoting another podcast it’s perfect. Honestly it’s like % real call-ins if it sounds like I’m complaining a lot. The podcast is really great most of the time (but please Tony, less furry friends).

A fun-filled discussion of the big, mind-blowing, unanswered questions about the Universe. In each episode, Daniel Whiteson (a Physicist who works at CERN) and Jorge Cham (a popular online cartoonist) discuss some of the simple but profound questions that people have been wondering about for thousands of years, explaining the science in a fun, shorts-wearing and jargon-free way.

1. Unfortunately lost its way - Used to be fantastic podcast, some light banter and jokes at the beginning but quickly moved on to the content- which was always interesting and enlightening. Now episodes begin with or more minutes of cringey back and fourth that seems to get more and more absurd as time goes on. The hosts often seem to lack chemistry and do not sound like they even enjoy listening to each other’s responses as the jokes get worse. Its stilted and not fun anymore; it’s boring. And then the ads begin… so many ads. Ads for things like astrology websites (on a science podcast!!?), ads for online shopping, ads for other iHeartRadio podcasts. By the time the episode actually begins, minutes have passed. More ads in the middle. It’s a rough listen, hope they realize and change course.
2023-01-05

2. Too much fluff/“jokes”/reiteration, too many ads - They don't have chemistry, or maybe they do, but I get the impression that neither finds the other particularly funny Format of podcast: Ads. "Banter" ("hey Daniel, do you think if the Hulk ate a black hole it would taste like donuts?" "ha ha ha. physicists are mad scientists who like donuts!" "lol" The Question! What does a black hole look like? What if time had dimensions? Why is momentum conserved? Can gravitational waves escape a black hole? Is the the speed of light different depending on direction? Random people (children, whoever) say what they think. Ads. Interesting point . "We can only measure the speed of light via a round trip, so it could be, like, going faster in on the way out, or faster on the way back, and we just don't know" Jorge question re: Interesting point : "Wait what??? Whoa. So we just don't know" Interesting point . "Yeah cause you see we can only measure it on a round trip! So you see it could be instaneous on the way out and we just don't know" Jorge question re: Interesting point : "Whoaaa. So like we don't know know the speed of light??" Interesting point : "No! Because it could be like half as fast on the way out, and twice as fast on the way back" Ads. "Banter": "Hey Daniel if I ate a black hole would I get really fat?" "ha ha ha. Your MASS would sure INCREASE!" "lol" Jorge reiterates Interesting point : "So, we don't know the speed of light! Because we can only measure it on a round trip" Daniel: "Yeah! Because we can only measure light on a round-trip, so we don't know if it goes faster in one direction or not" Jorge: "But why would it?" Daniel: "We don't know! Because you see we can only clock light on a round trip." Jorge: "Whoa" Daniel: Imagine if it were donuts! Jorge: lol Ads The End Ads. The light could have different speeds in different directions one was particular painful -- some of them are a bit less repetitive, and get to Interesting points or .

3. Great podcast! - I personally have found that some light comedy is such a nice addition to hard physics content, it helps keep the episodes fun and accessible and makes listening easier while multitasking. I find that more dense physics listening takes more focus and is harder to enjoy unless I can sit down and really pay attention. Great job Daniel and Jorge!
2022-12-08

4. Great show, too many commercials - Great podcast. They do a great job of making the science approachable and digestible. Biggest complaint is the amount of commercials. Multiple long (in the neighborhood of minutes) commercial breaks is just too many for a podcast. It’s almost to the old tv model, minutes of content, minutes of commercials.
2022-11-25

5. Daniel & Jorge Explain the Universe - Great topics as always, in an easily explained format. Daniel is excellent as always in breaking down topics for anyone to understand. Jorge brings a comedic element to the show, but, over the last year, he's barely on the program!, it's never addressed as to why, but, while Daniel is consistent and carries the show faithfully, there is one guest co host after another, something wrong is going on, they should rename it with just Daniel explains the universe!, Jorge shouldn't have his name on a show if the guy is constantly not showing up for work!, most of us wouldn't be able to get away with that!
2022-11-10

6. The universe explained for dummies!! - And I say that proudly as someone with a huge case of science derp-itude. I struggled with science topics throughout school and never would’ve thought I’d end up enjoying a show like this. But I do! And I don’t work in a science-related field or anything, in fact I work in construction and like listening to this podcast while I’m out in the field. It helps me understand hugely complex topics in such a fun and entertaining way. I’m with Jorge all the way on the food analogies, and Daniel has a way of explaining things that makes sense without coming off as condescending. Totally cool! Thanks guys
2022-07-22

7. Charming but not much content - The ads, jokes, and other filler make up about % of the airtime of each episode. I’m not even exaggerating — it’s really about minutes of science content in each hour-long episode. The banter is genuinely charming, but I wish they would (a) run less blaring, repetitive ads (b) respect their listeners a little more and include more and more substantive science in each episode. I’m reluctantly unsubscribing.
2022-05-27

8. Fun Show! - I totally enjoy the podcast, gentlemen. I appreciate the science explanations, and how they are filtered through the fun side of your personalities. You have a nice rapport with each other. I have one suggestions: ) Please do something about the screaming volume of some of those ads. It’s so much louder than the podcast and is truly jolting every time they start.

1. This is So Good! - I listen to this while trying to sleep, not a good idea I know, and it’s so interesting and Nic’s voice is nice so I find it relaxing. However, I was listening to the cinematic ghost story episode, and I was almost asleep. Then the part where it says “Talk to me” IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS IN THE ROOM. It woke me up so much! It was scary haha. Anyway, this is a very entertaining podcast! Definitely Recommended.
2023-02-10

2. Don’t let the naysayers get you down - Really enjoy this podcast, the narration and your kind, empathetic demeanor, Nic. For those of us paying attention, we know you’ve been going through a life transition, hope it brings all good things to you, and realize that the podcast has had to take a temporary back seat. Your fans can be patient as you and your family settle into your new home! Thanks for all you do!

3. Hi - I seen a shadow man that looks like Abraham Lincoln and then I saw it just go into time in Space. i’ve also seen a saucer up close it’s not really a saucer it’s actually it has a big red round light on The bottom of it and Had four windows on each side it had metal for its whole thing with lights on all of the metal on the ufo.
2022-11-27

4. Vet Listener Stories Please - Okay show. Enjoy the narration. However, most of the listener submissions are terribly written and/or transparent fabrications. The host seems to read verbatim whatever delusional email from a year old makes it past his spam filter. Would be a better show if less credulous and some of the better stories were edited for grammar and clarity. Many of the non-listener story (regular) shows are pretty basic, but good.
2022-11-24

5. Not sure - His mono tone voice will literally put me to sleep at night when I’m trying to go to bed, but also makes me uneasy as half the stories are demonic or possession, also seems like he runs out of episodes and just labels a past episode “Rewind” and puts it in as a new one. As I write this he has done the past episodes as Rewind. Not sure if he just doesn’t have the content or just doesn’t feel like making them.
2022-10-06

6. This is the best PODCAST EVER! - Listen to this podcast this is the best podcast ever if you don’t believe in the paranormal then you should Believe in it after this podcast it makes me scared at night sometimes but it’s awesome I would give it stars you better try it.It can change your life forever!
2022-09-11

7. Kip Dynamite is that you? - I’m a huge fan of paranormal podcasts so I listen to this podcast from time to time. It’s far from the worst but not my favorite. However, I can appreciate it and the work he puts into it. It has some good stories for sure, but his voice is far from creepy. He sounds just like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite. Kip is hilarious, but can he pull off a somber and scary ghost podcast?… not so much. I recommend changing the style of the show or start podcasting about something different.
2022-09-07

8. Best Podcast! - Nicks Podcast, Paranormal Mysteries is the best paranormal podcast out there! He gives his listeners a voice to share their experiences. It’s easy to get lost in listening to him share everyone’s experiences. It’s good to know there’s many people out there that’s been through something paranormal and that gives your experience validation. Thanks Nick!

Weekly episodes of "The Evolutionary Lens" are co-hosted with Heather Heying, in which we use an evolutionary toolkit to reveal patterns in nature--including human nature. Other episodes will feature Bret hosting long form discussions. Some guests will be well known, others obscure, but all of them are chosen because they have demonstrated unusual insight. The state and future of civilization will be a recurri...

1. Rational and Respectful - Updating a previous review, I love your content, but I find myself even laughing through your ads, the two of you are such a hoot! Give that epic tabby a mud water already. I’m a GenXer also, but I wish I could have been one of your students. Thanks for allowing me to “audit“ your classes here. Best wishes.
2023-03-15

2. Bret is Amazing - I love his insightful thoughts on a variety of subjects. The podcast would be better if he did it solo as his intellect is why I am listening. I look forward to hearing him weekly. Heather should start her own podcast in which she does her favorite thing: read out loud the work of others.
2023-03-13

3. So smart and likeable - Bret and Heather make the complex understandable and entertaining. Bret will interview a guest speaking way advanced geek-speak and somehow when he is done processing it, I can understand it. I am so glad that they are standing up for actual science. Oh, and you have to love a podcast where the cat spills liquid on the tech and Heather just keeps going. It is Thank you, Stephanie
2023-02-27

4. The first intellectuals I can tolerate. - I love this show. Brett and Heather have such a wonderful and respectful relationship. Both of their voices are so smooth, I often fall asleep to them and must listen to each show twice. In a world full of credentialism, I find that those who insist we call them Dr. are the ones we are finding we can trust the least. Dark Horse is the exception. Instead of using their education to gain power and money, Heather and Brett are fighting for truth.
2023-02-12

5. Must listen - The podcasts are long and there is a lot of chitchat, but there are gold nuggets of information and lessons even in the chitchat. You must set aside time to listen without distraction. It may not be obvious at first, but the podcast is ultimately about how to think. Information is the bonus. Always interesting. Must listen.
2023-01-30

6. Scott Adams/Logic&Reasoning - Awesome as always. Adam’s argument over time is that “Do your own research” is flawed we minor exceptions (ie you two) Experts, media, etc. can’t be trusted and we all have bias. My bigger issue is that we have dumbed down education to the point where few develop logic and reasoning skills. Combine that with the fact that assumptions are messed up to the point that one can’t assume that person born with male parts is a man and that everything is racist. This is the explicit version of illiberal brain scrambling that young people have experienced for the last years. We expect non-stem educated people to have skill in deductive reasoning and logic? That makes us illogical. Project this out years…the queasy feeling in your stomach says it all.
2023-01-29

7. Rising Above - The content is topical and unbiased. I’ve learned a lot. Perhaps most revealing about the hosts is their restraint, maybe mercy. A well known podcaster went quite personal a while back with his explanation for why he would not welcome Dr. Weinstein or Dr. Heying back to debate Covid craziness. Although they could have spiked the football, they have not gloated over developments proving them right. They seek no feud with the man who more and more is not Making Sense.
2023-01-18

8. Pod is good-intro is way too long - The topics are great. The discussion is great. However, sifting through nearly minutes of “support us here”, “buy our hoodie”, “when we were at Evergreen”, “YouTube demonetized us” etc, at the beginning of every single episode, is exhausting. Hit the sponsor spots and get to the show.

Comments

1. Please speak clearly! - Bird Note really needs to be mindful that their podcast is an auditory broadcast. Having speakers that have the ability to actually speak clearly is the point of a broadcast. Several of the recent episodes have been frustrating enough to skip them if I hear particular voices. Stop with the affections vocal fry!
2022-10-27

2. birds? great. The wokeness? Not so much. - Love these short, well-produced bird tales. What I don't love is being preached at by pandering race-hustlers. One pod complained that we need more people of color birding. Do we really? Says who? Maybe "people of color" prefer to do other things.. why does the skin color of people doing this or that activity matter? Now I just heard (the long podcast in Aug ) a woman casually bemoan 's "state-sanctioned violence against black people." Really? Do you really believe that sentence, or do you just think that is what you are supposed to say to be an enlightened member of today's WokeWorld?

3. Accents - I am having trouble understanding - Hi. I am having trouble understanding some of the accents that are showing up in the feed. I am a -year-old female and I don’t understand what the people are saying. I am really having trouble with the accents. Sorry. But if I can’t understand the show I am going to unsubscribe.
2021-02-15

4. Informative and entertaining - Bird Note is a great little podcast for anyone who’s interested in birds and the natural world. Sometimes what I need is a -minute break, and Bird Note provides it: taking me on a virtual walk in the wild; helping me hear bird songs; and often teaching me something I never knew before.
2019-08-03

5. Fantastic Podcast! - I’m not even sure when I began listening, but curiously, after two or three years of just two minutes per day of this highly entertaining podcast, I realized that I now know quite a bit about my backyard birds and their lifestyles. My friends are amazed that I know the names and most of the songs of the different species in our area. I’ll admit that I’m a bit amazed myself. And thus I’d say it has and will continue to be two minutes of my day very well-spent. Thanks BirdNote!

1. Entertaining and educational - Have listened since the beginning. Great info from Matt and guests. Learning lots of great stuff. I live in SW Missouri so interview with Justin Thomas probably got me started. Minor issue for me is it's sometimes hard to hear the guest's comments. Don't know if it is me or my phone or the equipment. It is better than it used to be when I first started listening. Keep up the good work.
2022-07-17

2. Best Plant Podcast I’ve Found - For anyone interested in plants, gardening, or nature in general this podcast is one of the best. Each episode features a plant related topic and interviews a scientist or expert in that topic. It also includes discussions on their own work. Impressively, a new episode airs weekly.
2022-05-06

3. nice! awesome! - Browsing thru the episode list and the diversity of guests and subjects covered, I was excited to have found this podcast. Unfortunately the host seems to be targeting an audience of year olds. I’ve yet to encounter any kind of substantive material, reasoning, argumentation.. Have not made it to the end of an episode yet, because I’d think that by halfway in you’d have moved past the “tell your story,” “oh, that’s awesome” section. And I’d enjoy the life histories more without the exclamations, which add nothing and only serve to send a shudder up my spine. One extra star because surely there’s something in here I’m missing.

4. Best podcast out there! - I have been listening to In Defense of Plants for a while, and love it. Matt has a soothing voice, the guests are knowledgeable, and sometimes entertaining. My year old occasionally listens with me, and I spend a lot of time explaining terminology, but I am so happy she enjoys it with me. Also, I just got my In Defense of Plants shirt, and excitedly wore it and showed it off to my friend today! (My daughter also now wants one...) Keep up the great work, Matt!

5. Rambling and anecdotal - Select podcasts are interesting but many tend to follow the same format. There is too much emphasis on needless background information for the first half of the podcasts. The second half often involves the host regularly replying to the guest’s content with personal long winded statements that can involve multiple logical fallacies, such as appeal to pity or false cause, and then tying in these fallacies with some anecdotal statements and then an ending statement, which is somewhat related, which he then asks the guest to agree with, thereby giving the impression all of his guests agree with his we message. This podcast is heavily skewed toward nativism, often acknowledges a changing climate, yet gives little attention to ‘introduced’ plant species which may be better suited to new climatic conditions. What is a native plant? Do we take a snapshot of time before Europeans arrived and always assume that is the standard of restoration? If so, for how long do we do this? Even if the climate is completely different and changing, or soil has been altered in such a way as to not accommodate native plant communities? Are native plant ranges allowed to change with a changing climate, or do they become invasive and unwanted the moment they cross our imaginary idea of their range? I’d be interested in more guest substance focused on actual botany, less host soapbox content, and hosting guests with different viewpoints so every episode isn’t a Kumbuya around a campfire.

6. Rock Gardening - I have been enjoying the podcasts but I wish Matt would ask more questions and direct the interview. One of the world’s experts on rock gardening available, and I came away from the conversation having learned nothing about rock gardening. I learned that they both think rock gardening is amazing. Matt’s a good guy with wonderful enthusiasm but too often his conversations end up with two people saying how great nature is. I wish there was more structure to the conversations and more questioning directed at elucidating the topic. The enthusiasm is great, but you’re already talking to an enthusiastic crowd. Let the topic excite the listeners on its own and focus on questions.

7. Great job Matt - Keep up the good work, this podcast is great! It’s nice to have something educational and interesting to listen to at my boring day job. There aren’t many podcasts out there about plants, so keep doing what you are doing Matt! I am someone who was previously suffering from plant blindness, and once I was hooked, it was nice to discover your programming to continue learning about an amazing part of the world that was in front of my face the whole time. Cheers!

8. Refreshing and informative - A great technical but accessible podcast. I have been listening for a while now and always am learning something new. My job that pays the bills is nowhere near in line with my actual interests which are plants/ecology and what we can do to help the planet. The most recent episodes guest mentioned reading guide books just to read them and did that ever hit home! I am glad to be part of that weird tribe and can distinctly remember reading my Nation Geographic guide to birds of North America most mornings over breakfast. My interest in birds evolved to how plants impact birds and all lives. Keep up the great work!

4. New to you - I have been listening to you and the other guy, sooty, I forgot his name. Y’all were talking about ghost/shadow people. I live in the same house that my daddy died in in . I had married after he died and when I was , I divorced and moved back here to take care of my mama in her late years. When my daughter and I moved back we lived in one side of our duplex and mama lived in the other side. It is an old mill village house. Pretty big when it is open all the way through. My daughter was and one Sunday after Sunday dinner(lunch) she had some of her friends over. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and heard a lot of ‘things’ falling in her room. I went in there to see these teenagers staring at pictures and what nots that FLEW off of her mantle. She had a glass vanity under the mantle but none of the items hit it! I had known that my daddy’s spirit was here so I just picked the stuff up and put it back. They were all saying, we didn’t do it! I had told my daughter before we moved back up here that daddy would come around sometime so she just looked at me. They thought nothing more of it and went off to play softball. I went to the kitchen to finish up and things started thumping in her closet. I came in there, opened the door and her radio and books were falling out of her closet. I just said, ok daddy, we know you are here. My brother had lived on this side after he got married in ‘. After that day, for the next four years we had numerous visits. He was very prevalent in my daughters room but also throughout these four rooms. I sleep in the bedroom that he died in. He never came passed the threshold of my bedroom. Oh yeah, the knock happened often too. Scared several of my friends to the point that one never came back, others were acceptable. He turned the lights on, the sink water, stuff like that. I’m the fall of , my daughter went to college, I would get up in the morning and the teddy bears and pilllows would be moved and on the floor in her bedroom. He was so protective over her. One night at : a.m. I woke up and was laying on my side facing the hallway. I SAW his sillouette in my bedroom door. I closed my eyes, opened them really fast to make sure I was seeing right. He was still there. I sat up and said daddy, so I stood up and went toward him. He just moved back thru the hall, into the living room and back into her bedroom and went away. My mother got very sick, dependent on me for everything after this happened. I had also gotten custody of two of my grandchildren and was raising them. They were & and no, I didn’t tell them. Mama never believed us, my brother by this time had asked me if I ever had things happen and he had experienced the same things when he lived here. So one morning, the yr old came to me and said ‘grandma do you know we have a ghost. I said yes, do you know who it is. She said it is granddaddy and he came to me in my sleep and told me not be scared that he was protecting us. Anyway, my mama died in and she finally saw him before she passed. I don’t see him as often or experience much anymore. He still comes around but not much. I miss him. I live here by myself but I did close the other side off and now rent it. Her grandson is and she catches him looking at ‘nothing’ and laughing sometime. So, my question is, if I only see shadows are y’all saying they are demons? I do not believe that. I’ve only concluded that he was here waiting to take mama Home. One more thing, I don’t know about the Sally house event. I watched Paranormal Files go there and it was crazy! I would love to do one someday though.

5. Happy to have found you. - I am new to pod casts and just started listening to podcasts in November of . I learned about your podcast searching for things that interested me. My wife has been on a team and I always called them the ghost buster’s. Even though I have had my own experiences in life one being my dreams, I still was a skeptic. Anyway I love you two together. You both have a roll and I find it very entertaining. I just joined the Facebook page and I started with the January show. I’m in May of now. Can’t wait to get caught up to date but I just can’t skip any episodes. Thank you and I’ll write about some of my experiences in the future, Mike in Moore Oklahoma.

6. Y’all gotta check this podcast out !! - This is not only a fantastic Podcast but it is hosted by two fantastic people. Jerry and Tracy have a talent for telling stories that keep us in Aww , Fascinated , Informed, Having our Hearts touched and during every episode they make us laugh. I’m proud to say I’ve listened to every episode, even the early ones without Tracy . The world is a better place because of what this couple does and I’m recommending that everyone give them your support. Blessings from Boyd “Wrong Way” Wright

7. Awesome Show!!! - I needed a break from my normal daily podcasts and I enjoy listening to stories about the paranormal. I came across several shows and listened to all of them to narrow it down to which one I was going to keep. This show was one of the last ones I listened to and deleted all but this one. I seriously love the way it is not just another monotone podcast and it is also very informative. I went back as far as I could to listen from the beginning. Keep up the great work!!! —Doug Towns
2023-02-12

8. Thank you - I stumbled upon your podcast and I absolutely love it. I started bingeing the episodes from the beginning. I would love to try and reach out to you because well I’m not a ghost Hunter but I don’t have a lot of “useless ”information on some of your subject matter. I also love the way you’re handling people needing help with depression and suicide and reaching out I’ve been suffering from depression and those thoughts for years and I feel from listening to you both that you both have been like close friends to me and that is a beautiful thing. Any way sorry for rumbling take care Mark

1. Bigfoot - Great job, I listen to your podcast more than any buddy else on the radio. I should say on my cell phone. I even went out and bought a pair of earbuds just to listen to you in the car and when I take walks. there, intriguing very exciting listening to the stories is unreal. What people go through is absolutely amazing. I would love to see a Sasquatch or Bigfoot. I am from Maine and don’t have a lot of action out here. I believe it’s because of the cold weather but people do see them in Alaska so I’m not sure. Keep up the good work. I enjoy listening and have an awesome day.

2. Good podcast but…. - Brian does a good job on the podcast and you can tell he puts a lot of work into it but as a fan of Bigfoot and dogman specifically, keep the ghosts and UFO topics to your other podcasts. If I want to look into those, I will but I want Sasquatch Odyssey to be about mostly Bigfoot as the name says.
2023-01-28

3. Misleading - If I search for Bigfoot then I want Bigfoot. If I search for paranormal then I want paranormal. I told a friend who had an interest in Bigfoot to listen to ur show. I ended up getting fussed at because ur show had all this crap that is not what they were searching for. I am dumping ur show and never telling anybody else to follow it because of the misleading content. I know I am only one person but it seems that a lot of others have the same opinion of ur show. And one more thing. I don’t care if it is bonus show or not. I want what I’m asking for not crap I didn’t ask for.

4. Don’t Quit Your Day Job ! - Brian has a great radio voice, a good topic but a really bad marketing plan. Todays listening market gives us many great choices but if I paid a month for every podcast I follow, it would cost me about $ a month. Pretty steep for a retired female on social security. I really believe there are reasons, other than making money, that we should have podcast. What a platform to make a difference in the entire world! I know, podcast host need to eat but as a newspaper columnist, with a weekly dead line, I had to choose years ago about a “day job”. I love to write, as Brian loves to talk but…it can’t pay the bills. Back up, either get sponsors or go to a ten dollar a year fee that might be affordable. Once people start paying though, your standards have to go up. They have a right to demand certain things for their money. A good Marketing plan should come first, Then a schedule to allow you to work and host a podcast. You are great Brian, but I have to go away until maybe things work out. Also…. Brian, your strut shows on the air waves. Come back down to earth!

5. Brian is the Batman of Sasquatch podcasters. - There, I said it. Everyone was thinking it. The man is the real deal. Professional, entertaining, intelligent and with his law enforcement background- he’s probably the most legitimate person you’d want or need looking into these topics. He’s always level headed and takes a cool headed approach to interviewing and investigating the topics presented. This show will hook you. Beware. I remember listening to an episode while at work and pretty soon the whole day was spent on the Odyssey! Worth it. Glad I got hooked! And glad I got to talk to Brian. I feel privileged. What are you waiting for? Press play!! Denny Kentucky X-Files

6. BRIAN IS GREEEEEDY! - Brian is not only intoxicated by the sound of his own voice, but MAN is he GREEDY! He claims “the minutes of ads are necessary to pAY fOr tHe sHOw” Yet, he not only has ad rolls through out, but he ALSO reads ads, he collects paid monthly subscriptions AND has a patreon!? Get real buddy, most shows choose only ONE of those revenue streams - and you’re collecting on ALL Brian! Greedy Grifter!
2022-11-04

7. Todd Standing - I love your podcast! I have listened to everything that you have put out and look forward to every show, but I am OVER hearing about Todd Standing! Not sure of the spelling but he should be paying you for all the advertising. I don’t know him and whether you love him or hate him, leave him off the show! You are great but really dislike this very much!
2022-10-17

8. Wait a minute... - I love Sasquatch Chronicles! Wes has been doing it for a very long time and gotten better as well.... Wait, this isn't SC? But the intro, the format, the music, the interview style are definitely Wes! Sasquatch Odyssey? Did Wes change the name? No? Oh yuck, this guy just totally stole his show!

Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo is a weekly podcast hosted by Cliff Barackman and James "Bobo" Fay of Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot".

Release date: 2023-03-13

Comments

1. Bigfoot Structures - Love the podcast I almost fell off my chair when I realized there was a podcast after FB ended. Can you please have more shows about the structures they make. I know Cliff has to be more reasonable about them because of the lack of concrete evidence and as a visible voice in the community he has to be. However, I feel the show needs more about that perspective. Also, Suggestion: Could u invite the She- Squatchers? I saw them in the Smoky Mountain conference and they had a great evidential presentation as did Charlie Raymond. Pennsylvania Bigfoot Structures
2023-03-22

2. Education - I had several things happen when I was young along with a very clear sighting. I had no way of researching back then other than the school and local library at the time. (mid ’s) Finding Bigfoot introduced me to these guys. This podcast is a valuable tool for amateur researchers. Cliff’s back ground as a teacher shows through. Bobo’s experience as a big footer and his ability to keep things light hearted and funny (along with Cliff’s unique humor ) makes this podcast flow. It’s never enough!That’s why I became a patreon member! The guests are wonderful each week. When I go out into the field now, I feel that I am armed with more knowledge than when I was a teenager. (I’m and my wife would argue that I’m still somewhat of a teenager at heart ) From Southern Middle Tennessee, keep it squatchy y’all!
2023-03-21

3. Q & A’s - Pretty good podcast. Would be better without the liberal west coast left wing political ads. And by the way Cliff, I’m not an ape. Just stick to Bigfoot evidence and encounters. That’s what everyone wants to hear. But all in all a great Bigfoot podcast and you guys are great Americans. Thanks Cliff and Bobo.
2023-01-23

4. Pretty good BUT... - I’ve been into this subject since around the time Cliff Barackman was born, and he daily exemplifies exactly what’s wrong with the bigfoot community. It’s physically hard to sit here and listen to Cliff’s supreme arrogance as he subtly belittles anyone who doesn’t agree with him, and he contradicts himself constantly. On this Mondays show (//) he said “I don’t listen to any podcasts” then later claims that he “Never hears any reports having to do with paranormal (woo).” I would love to stop by his museum because obviously he has a specimen there, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to speak with such certainty. The pedantic language gets really old too. This show would be ten times better without him. Play us some guitar, Cliff. Otherwise just shut up.
2023-01-09

5. Life enhancing—I couldn’t ask for more! - Humor, knowledge, insight, interesting guests, I’m a fan! I think Cliff and Bobo do a great job of keeping us up to date on our subject of interest. T. Roosevelt: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
2023-01-01

6. What does “the government” mean? - I love the show and like how you push back on people that say that the tracks just disappeared and such. However, I am disappointed in the conspiratorial nature of “the government”. What does that even mean? That feels like a cop out excuse like Sasquatch just vanishing when people can’t find tracks. Please define this gap in Sasquatch research more definitively please. Still, I love the show.
2022-12-25

7. The Best Podcast - From the fantastic opening theme song, this podcast delivers high-quality content from beginning to end. It’s amazing how appealing these guys are to listen to, even if you’re a total skeptic! The easy banter, relaxed interview style and overall show format really make for a fun and entertaining podcast. I absolutely love it!
2022-12-07

8. Love it! - I met Cliff and Bobo at a Bigfoot Conference back in , and they’re the NICEST guys ever! I love this podcast so much, it’s very informative and it almost feels like a “behind the scenes” of Finding Bigfoot. It’s also great hearing witness stories too. Very interesting, informative, and entertaining!

Get ready to have your spine tingling and your hairs standing on end with the Daily Paranormal Podcast hosted by Tony Brueski. This show is no joke - it's packed with real-life horror stories of ghosts, demons, haunted houses, possessions, shadow people, and all things supernatural that will leave you quivering with fear. Our listeners can't get enough of our bone-chilling tales, describing them as the "best ghost story podcast out there." Don't expect the same old cliché zombies, vampires, wit...

Comments

1. It’s just not the same anymore - I used to love this podcast, it was a little bit of spooky, entertaining, & funny! I also Love the witty banter between the host & his guests! But it’s not the same anymore. Now we just get snippets of stories, that you can only listen to if you’re a Patreon! & the ads, you can’t forget the ads! It’s hardly worth clicking on a link to a story that’s maybe minutes long!
2023-03-18

2. Irresponsible with ads! - Love the content but every single episode has blocks of ads that last four and five minutes - repeating the same ones over and over - it really ruins the quality of the shoe and becomes unlistenable unless you’re clinging to your phone so you can fast forward. I’ve never heard a podcast with this many ads on repeat.
2023-03-06

3. This used to be amazing… - I used to love this podcast and I keep hoping it goes back to the way it was. Now they run old episodes but episodes from maybe a year ago. It doesn’t seem like there’s as many new ones as there used to be and they do a ton of these “open lines” which arent typically that good.. maybe minutes and tons of commercials… the commercials are a mess too they play the same one times before the episode starts. I understand advertising is a part of it but why play the same commercial times in a row. Tony just seems to not care about this podcast as much as he used too. They seem to get off topic more which getting off topic a little is fine but it’s a lot sometime. Tony has also gotten very judgmental lately. I think it’s great that he wants to include his daughter but I skip those episodes they just aren’t as good and I hate to say that but I think she’s too young to be hosting a podcast. Honestly if it wasn’t for Todd and Carol I wouldn’t have stayed as long as I have. I just keep hoping it will go back to how it used to be but I’m losing hope of that happening. Real ghost stories online is where I fell in love with listening to podcasts and it’s sad it’s gone down hill so quick.

4. RGSO FOLIFE - This is show is just great. Spooky and hilarious. You are all characters and I love it. Carol reading has been my favorite episode of all time!! Ugh and Harper - future SNL star. If you haven’t given this show a listen, stop what you’re doing and press play. You’re welcome. RGSO FOLIFE xx
2023-01-25

5. Great!!!!!!!! - This podcast is AMAZING! Tony,Harper,Todd and Carol are really funny and are the best people you could have doing this. I have been listening for over years and this is the best! I would recommend this to more than ANY ghost podcast there is [ and any other ] I have tried other podcasts like this but they are not as good as this one! CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ENGAGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!
2023-01-10

6. Good show however too many ads - I like this show however I think the repeated ads within the show could be reduced to one and some of the politics and babbled conversations could be reduced or cut out of the show. Could be a better show but cut the crap with repeated ads, random babbling conversations and I can relate to other poor reviewers on their ratings.
2023-01-08

7. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! - Congratulations on your engagement, loved hearing about that!!!! All the past relationships didn’t work out, sounds like they all led you to where u are rt now!!! With the perfect person for u!!! You have a great show!!! Just discovered u and I’ve been sharing it w everyone!!! Keep them coming
2023-01-03

8. Favorite podcast - I was an avid listener of the show for many years, but lately I’ve stopped. It has changed SO much. They hit you over the head with all of their advertising and not enough content. They constantly make jokes about the stories that are called in, and go off topic a lot! Maybe they’ve been doing this show for so long it’s getting tedious for them? I don’t know? I’m not a prude, but their constant use of the “F” word gets to me. Get it together guys…

The Michael Shermer Show is a series of long-form conversations between Dr. Michael Shermer and leading scientists, philosophers, historians, scholars, writers and thinkers about the most important issues of our time.

Release date: 2023-03-21

Comments

1. Finally had to speak up. - ’ve been a Michael Shermer fan for years, a Skeptic subscriber, and more recently a podcast listener. But…these past couple of years I’ve noticed him not challenging unsubstantiated statements made by guests, most notably those leaning conservative. I thought, maybe he’s just being polite. Not exactly demonstrating critical thinking, but it’s his podcast, maybe that isn’t the point? Now, though, I hear him parodying things said by the far left noisemakers and presenting them as if they represent the core beliefs of all liberals. That’s not cool. (Presenting far right noisemakers as representing all conservatives: equally not cool.) This is not the critical thinking approach to “news” in the media that drew me to the Skeptics world in the first place. But I still subscribe to critical thinking, which means listening to both sides, so I’ve continued to listen to Shermer’s guests. I rarely agree with everything they say - sometimes with nothing they say - but you can’t evaluate what you don’t hear. Today, though, Shermer made one more misleading, bordering on non-factual statement, and I just couldn’t stay quiet any more. It wasn’t a terribly important fact, just the proverbial straw. He said, “In California here, we have to have all electric cars by . No more gas-powered cars. If you want to drive an old muscle car like a Camaro or a Mustang with the big (makes rumble noise), you have to go to a track.” Well, I’ve heard exactly this point being made on Fox “News”. Is that where you’re getting your “facts” now, Shermer? Because the actual facts - because Facts Matter - are these: ) Beginning in (not ), no more new gas-powered cars can be sold in California. ) You can still drive your muscle car as you always have, on public roads. ) You can even buy a used muscle car, and drive it on public roads. Just not a new one. ) If your vehicle doesn’t pass its smog test, then you can’t drive it on public roads…but that’s true now and has nothing to do with the switch to electric cars. That’s been the law for decades. But Shermer’s comment presented a very different message, one that seemed deliberately deceptive. Not necessarily by Shermer, but definitely by whatever media he got that message from. (Mr. Shermer, if this statement was entirely yours, then shame on you.) There have been many other such mis-statements that rang familiar from Fox messages, but this is one where I had reason to know the truth. I am very saddened today to have my perception that Shermer is no longer practicing critical thinking and objective evaluation proven true. My heart is broken.
2023-02-28

2. Thought provoking - I enjoy Shermer’s even-keeled approach to interviewing and the fact that he legitimately engages with people from a wide variety of different political and ideological perspectives, trying to focus on nuanced and science-based perspectives. Even when he clearly disagrees he keeps the conversation civil and productive, while still pushing back and questioning in the spirit of open dialogue. I always find something interesting to listen to here.
2023-01-08

3. Conspiracy Book - I’m a big fan but so disappointed that you missed the conspiracy of the conspiracy of the Jan . You’re too smart for that. They broke in out of their outcry from their frustration and anger (mostly peaceful). It’s not excusable but it was a million miles from a ‘takeover’. There was not a person at that rally that didn’t have an arsenal of weapons at home, as legal gun owners. However, no guns were involved. The conspiracy here is that it was a conspiracy. That’s the rational conclusion.

4. My family and I love Dr Michael Shermer - Insightful, inspiring and informative, Dr Shermer’s podcast has no equal. Love all the episodes, except the one with Neil De Grasse Tyson, Dr Tyson should have been a stand-up comedian, his diatribe on regressive sex gender is very surprising coming from him, I’m still in awe that one of the smartest Scientists around the block can be so obtuse on certain topics. Erasmus “In praise of Folly comes to mind while listening to NDT on this particular episode. Dr Shermer, thank you for lighting up the candle of knowledge in this superstitious and credulous world, your show is highly appreciated and recommended.
2022-10-10

5. deGrasse Tyson a hot mess - Wow I feel so sad listening to dG Tyson discuss the sex binary. Such a great scientific mind and yet he doesn’t seem to understand the difference between primary and secondary sex characteristics. He deems it “regressive” to acknowledge the biological reality of the sex binary, why? Why is it regressive to categorize this fundamental aspect of our observable reality? Why is it regressive to admit that observable differences exist between the two sexes? He used incoherent logic to skirt around Shermer’s pushback related to very common sense issues like protecting women's sport. My jaw dropped to the floor the more Tyson seemed to detach from material reality. I still can’t believe such pseudoscience was pouring out of such a respected scientist! Shermer navigated as well as one could through this hot mess of an interview.
2022-09-28

6. Helen Joyce - Helen Joyce makes some good points - but I’m afraid they are mixed up with poor research, often seemingly none. She presents opinion as fact, which breaks any credibility she may have started off with. Connections are made with leaps and bounds without sighting evidence. I’d expect much more from Shermer who seemed rather mushy in this discussion. Can it be that he agreed with her every point, even the ones she pulled out of her biases and put together with little logic? Just because trans men may not belong in women’s sports doesn't mean they are presenting as trans just so they can get in women’s restrooms for the sake of scaring women. I agree this stuff is tricky but let’s recognize it as such and go from there. Joyce simply wants it black and white, dusted and done. This approach will lead to no good.

7. Good Show/Good Guests - If you’re a long time listener, you notice he repeats a lot of stories/anecdotes, but I suppose that comes with age. Every so often I hear some talking head talk dismissively of Shermer, which I never understand. He’s smart, he’s careful and thoughtful in his responses, and he’s very respectful even when he disagrees.

8. Great - Good Podcast good guests. Recent one with Oliver Stone- was interesting too could have been longer. Excellent to hear Batya too. She’s absolutely correct about the Media. They’re untrustworthy and unreliable and must be completely rebuilt. She is such a welcome voice of reason- and I’m no Lefty! Appreciate the job you do.

The world is full of mystery. Man's hubris would have you believe that the world is mapped, it is explained, it has been conquered. But many would disagree. We believe the world still has mystery. That there are layers upon layers of the world that remain unexplored and unexplained. That there is still magic and mystery all around us.. if only we would open our eyes and our hearts to understand. Paranormal Portal explores the many mysteries that still persist. Discussing theory, testimoni...

1. Mentally Unstable People’s Stories Of Psychotic Breaks - Podcast like this I always find hilarious and sadly ironic. They do advertising and have sponsors talking about mental illness, and how to get help throughout the podcast. However they have people on the podcast itself who are clearly mentally disturbed and unstable. Their current or former drug attics. Their stories are unverified, undocumented babbling nonsense. Drug induced psychotic breaks and or psychosis for the majority. It’s NOT real. Exploiting people who are mentally disturbed drug attics. By encouraging and reinforcing psychotic breaks as “real or factual” is dangerous, immoral.

2. Needs Improvement - I think the host needs to push back more with questions. I feel like he glazes over a lot of the interviews without asking more. He misses a lot of opportunity to go deeper and some guests have so much more to add but they are forced to keep it brief. Some stories need to be completely heard to be understood and I often feel like I’m hearing half the story. I would expect him to at least save his questions for the end but he doesn’t. Makes me feel bad for the guests wanting to poor out their hearts and get their stories off their chests.

3. New Logo - Brent you are such a kind and nice guy. That new logo just doesn’t fit you or your message! It looks so evil. I have listened to your podcast for a year but if I saw that demon logo I would have never in a million years checked your show out! Off with the demon head! Thanks for changing your logo!

4. Keep it Real - You have a good thing going on this podcast. I’ve enjoyed listening to the stories told by those who have had the experiences. Your questions and comments are often the same as I’d ask or make as a remark. Over all, this is one of my top podcasts… until Dif is asked back. I’m not sure if you aren’t aware of his manipulation of guests and their accounts, or his reputation in the “podcast world”, but the genuine person he portrays himself as, he is not. His fake, calming whisper of a voice, has been know to direct guests to tell a different version of their account and he has actually told those guests…they [ the audience ] will believe what I tell them to believe. Be careful who you invite.

5. Why Not Pre Read the Stories? - I love the host’s voice and his take and knowledge on the subject. But some of the stories are godawful. Sounds like middle schoolers. One was about a person whose friend showed them how to contact a ghost. “If you don’t properly say goodbye you’ll anger it.” Of course the person didn’t then they were attacked in their sleep! Another one their cousin sent them a link about a haunted park then when the person drives by the park they get a weird feeling! Another was a person who dreams about murders and is convinced they’re a medium. At one point the host pauses and says “I can’t believe I’m reading this.” Yea, me neither.

6. If you believe in the paranormal, this is the podcast for you - I’ve been trying to find a good podcast on paranormal experiences for so long, you guys knock it out of the park. Every one I’ve listened to is so in depth and well thought out.. genuinely hope all these people who have experienced these things are doing ok

7. The Most Passionate Host of Any Paranormal Podcast - I found this show a little over a year ago and I have been addicted ever since!! Brent (the host) has guests from Paranormal Celebrities to just every day people sharing their paranormal experiences. I have talked with the host on multiple occasions and also shared my experiences on his Youtube show. So I can say from st hand experience that Brent is the most passionate paranormal host I have ever come across. He has a deep passion for the paranormal and for his listeners. All while keeping a healthy level of skepticism and open mind. If you enjoy his podcast then you will LOVE his Live Youtube show. Its an entirely different show times a week at pm EST. Come check it out and chat with us in the live chat room!

8. The host is not that good of a podcaster. - Dude! U need to proof read the stories before u record !!! U mess up and read things wrong then have to correct yourself ALOT!! It’s cringy and annoying! But the stories are interesting.. if u can get past the way he reads them. I’m sure he will get better. The content is really good. He’s just not a natural. Needs to do more practice before recording the podcast. U do that and then I bet you’ll get a better rating !

1. Wild Turkey Science - As a concerned wild turkey enthusiast, I have to say this is the most insightful podcast I've ever listened to on the subject. I've listened to every single episode--and some twice-- and have learned so much along the way, sometimes not what I wanted to hear, but that's science for you. These guys put the science out there, and that’s what the turkey needs right now. The content is amazing, and I've even started to implement many of the things I've learned on the properties I manage. Thanks for bringing the goods and getting a “Who’s Who” lineup of biologists and researchers each week. I love geeking out on this podcast.
2023-03-17

2. Just Outstanding! - Finally, the information that we have always longed for. They present the data in terms even this layman can understand and potentially apply. They have destroyed so many of my previous misconceptions about the turkey. After a few hours lying in the fetal position, in a dark room, I came to appreciate the podcasts even more. Keep up the great, and much needed work! Also, consider joining Turkeys for Tomorrow as this funding needs to keep coming.
2023-03-15

3. Wild Turkey podcast - This podcast comes at a time when controversy over the wild turkey status and management is at an all time high. Information from research has been misquoted, misunderstood and misdirected at times. Dr. Lashley and Dr. Gulsby have brought about a much needed interpretive media connection between landowners/ hunters / managers and the academic world. Finally, the wheat is separated from the chaff. And all of this in an enjoyable format that does not dodge the difficult (I.e. not popular) topics. I have listened to every episode and eagerly await the next. No matter your experience level with either turkey hunting or land management, I feel certain you will find many pearls of wisdom concerning this wonderful bird as well as a deeper appreciation for efforts to keep it abundant in numbers for generations to come. Thanks guys and keep up the good work. J. Godley, DVM

4. March Episode- Small Landowners Matter Too - First off I really enjoy the podcast and I know I’ll be able to better manage my properties with what I’m learning each week! I wanted to comment on the part of the episode where you guys talk about landowners with small tracks getting discouraged with feeling like they make no impact. I have three - acre properties and one I small acre lease that I manage year around for turkeys and deer here in NE Mississippi. I’ve found that my little acres tract holds more turkeys and we kill more turkeys there than any other tract I own! I’m lucky that that spot sits between two large ridge lines with a creek and small four acre field right in the middle. I burn what I can and trap the perimeters of all my property. Makes a HUGE difference! Thanks guys!

5. Great Pod! - Really enjoyed this podcast so far and cannot wait until the series on land management and how to change it for better Turkey habitat. Specifically interested in management for upland hardwoods on the Appalachian plateau. I have a small ( ish acres) I can work with and look forward to hearing all the information I can get. Thanks for putting this out.
2023-03-06

6. A hunt story every now and again won’t hurt a thing - I have lot’s of comments and questions that I’ll get to later. But just let me say I’ve enjoyed a bunch and learned a bunch so far. I started with episode and then went back and started at the beginning. Made it through about and a half. Looking forward to learning more about the science behind using full strut decoys or not. Keep up the good work. Do it outdoors, Wade

7. Exactly What The Wild Turkey Needs Right Now - This podcast is exactly what is needed right now in the Wild Turkey world. Each episode is packed with information that is supported by scientific studies and explained by experts. It’s not always the information we want to hear, but it is the information we need to hear if we are going to help the Wild Turkey. A couple questions for Marcus and Will… . Where can someone find more papers on studies that have been done in regards to Wild Turkeys? . What resources are available for landowners in Michigan to identify beneficial Turkey habitat on their property and to provide recommendations on improving that property for Wild Turkey and other game birds?
2023-02-28

8. Episode on nru podcast or the January , - I’ll begin by revealing that I first listened to the podcast that addressed trapping before listening to this episode with Dr Craig Harper. I have no clue what order these episodes were recorded but the episodes dedicated to trapping left me a bit disheveled. Those episodes seemed to be critical of land owners that choose to trap. Thank goodness I listened to Dr Harper in this podcast tonight. He managed to reverse the anti-trapping banter I heard in those episodes. I did get some enjoyment listening to him speak to the advantages of trapping predators to help increase turkey populations in TN. Dr Harper brought what I see , which influences my views, to the attention of Dr Lashley and in doing so seemed to vindicated my historical and future attempts to remove nests predators that prey on eggs of turkeys and quail as well as preying on rabbits and deer fawns. I’ve become a big fan of doctor Harper over the last two years. I would encourage the hosts to do their best to have Dr Harper on the show on a regular basis. I’m rating this podcast out of . Sincerely, F Farley

1. Everything I want in a podcast! - I just discovered this podcast about a month ago and I’m so happy I did! There’s nothing like a good cryptid story. I love that these episodes are short and sweet and aren’t so drug out that I lose interest. There’s facts, stories and lots of laughs! Thank you Tyler and Charlie for spreading the love of the paranormal, crytids, and all things spooky
2023-03-04

2. Smart n Not - Idk this pod is confusing. As an avid folklore researcher I actually learn new things about subjects I know a lot about , so they do turn up some good research - but then they also seem pretty ignorant, or at least the skeptic guy is - one time he mentioned he had no idea who ALEXANDER THE GREAT is!? So I’m split on really liking this podcast and wondering if it’s a waste of time .
2023-02-16

3. Ally - They make me laugh, they make me think, and they make me feel safe. There are so many spooky and alien podcasts to choose from. But Ryan and Charlie have created the perfect atmosphere. Beyond their flow and banter they are so kind natured. Being inclusive isn’t a focal point, but they casually call out corruption, they are effortless allies, and they are sincere towards indigenous people. I love these men and I’m so thankful for all their work.
2023-01-13

4. Aw man, that’s great - I cannot brag on these guys enough. They’ve cracked the code to producing an entertaining yet informative podcast that leaves you wanting more. Their jovial yet matter-of-fact way of discussing the paranormal topics leaves the listener with new knowledge and a genuine but light-hearted spook. Everything about this podcast is just fun!!
2023-01-03

5. Awesome and Straight to the Point - I really like this podcast because of the content and the simplicity in it's presentation. Unlike most podcasts, this one doesn't have a lot of fluff and gets straight to the point. I gave / stars because Tyler and Charlie say a lot of stupid things and dwell on the wrong details. No offensive but their theories are not well thought out. This leads me to skip the discussion portion of each episode.
2022-12-31

6. Fun, but research is lacking - I do enjoy listening to the podcast, however I can't give a star review because the research is severely lacking on many of the episodes. By far the worst was the Amityville Horror where both guests called the story "Viable" when it has been pretty much proven the story was made up over a night of drinking between George and his lawyer. The photo of the 'child' was actually one of the paranormal investigators and the Warrens have absolutely no credibility whatsoever. Maybe try listening to a podcast like Hysteria and their Warren episode. The podcasters are good to listen to, I just have trouble because you have to do more than just watch a youtube video as your research. This is the first podcast that I have ever heard that found Amityville "viable" and true. That shows there is not enough research going on. I would still recommend the podcast because they love to read view submissions and that is always fun. They are both good speakers and nice to listen to.
2022-12-10

7. Great content - Just recently started listening and enjoying every episode. I especially can relate to the slender man one since I live just blocks from where the girl was stabbed. And the lake Michigan ufo one since I have seen lots of floating lights while near the lake in Milwaukee. Keep up the good work.
2022-12-08

8. The only podcast I listen to - Obligatory “aw man, that’s great” But seriously, I love this podcast. I’m really not a podcast person, I usually struggle to sit and listen to an entire episode of other podcasts without getting bored but I could listen to BTB all day long. The only downside though is that while I’m listening at work, I probably look absolutely insane trying my hardest not to laugh out loud. Keep doing what you do Tyler and Charlie, you guys are amazing!

1. A valuable use of time. - Dr. Brian Keating’s podcast has never failed to teach me something interesting about our world and universe. Dr. Keating’s curiosity, intellectual integrity, and good moral nature are always reflected in the podcast, and in this crazy world he’s rapidly becoming a voice I can trust to give me interesting and valuable content.
2023-03-16

2. No - The host basically fawned over Ben Shapiro for over an hour, someone that doesn’t belong on a science podcast to begin with, all while saying he likes other points of views on the podcast while playing Ben’s fanboy the whole time. Just gross. “In my house we always ask what Ben Shapiro would do!”… get outta here… no patience to listen to someone that claims to be a smart person that can’t tell if someone is a heaping dumpster fire or not. Ben Shapiro has been very clear that his view of the universe is predicated on religious dogma all while spreading hate to those that don’t follow his narrow religious views… and this podcast gives him a platform? Not even a spirited debate but literally fanboying over him the whole time? Sorry, but you lost me. Any scientific mind would have challenged him on his ridiculous ideas and hate he spews in order have a conversation to put forward in front of their audience but Brian just fanboy’ed over him the whole time. I’d also like to add that Brian trying to extol (read: force) his academic background on everyone the whole time while being a rd tier academic is really annoying and he is involved in Prager U(niversity) which is basically a fake university that rips people off for their money under the guise of selling them American conservatism. He had Eric Weinstein on his pod for f sakes. Can’t take someone that sells themselves as an academic seriously when they rub elbows with garbage like this. Listen to “Daniel and Jorge Explain The Universe” if you want to actually learn something.

3. Brilliant, Entertaining and Captivating - “Into the Impossible” is the modern equivalent of the Algonquin Round Table — if the members of the “Vicious Circle” had been composed of the world’s leading thinkers in science, humanities and technology instead of editors, playwrights and denizens of Broadway. Oh - and if they recorded their conversations to share with the world. Fortunately for us, Dr. Brian Keating’s fascinating conversations with leading visionaries and thinkers are accessible as a podcast. His show is down-to-earth, funny and helps those of us without hard science backgrounds contemplate and grapple with ideas as far flung as quantum mechanics to cosmology, AI to NFTs and Galileo to the Galileo Project. No idea is too big for Into the Impossible and no sacred cow is safe under the scrutiny of Dr. Keating and his guests. Subscribe, listen and learn. If the soul survives death, then you’ll be in good company as Dorothy Parker
2023-03-02

4. A brilliant insight into the universe - I just recently came across Into The Impossible and can honestly say I have become fascinated if not borderline obsessed. The guests, the information and the insight the podcast provides are amazing, needed and surreal. I don’t always understand much or a lot of the conversations but it is always fun, intriguing and leaves me wanting to learn more. Thank you Dr. Keating!
2023-02-28

5. One of my “Go To” Sources for Science - I started listening to Brian Keating’s “Into the Impossible” last year, and have rarely missed an episode since. Whether it’s theoretical physics, cosmology, astronomy, the scientific method, or any number of relevant topics, this is definitely one of the most interesting, engaging, and entertaining places to keep informed.
2023-02-26

6. Great Podcast, Great Host - Brian is really great at bringing on and talking with people with opposing viewpoints. This is how science should be done. Unlike many (most?) podcast hosts, Brian actually has the background to back his talk up, he isn't just a random dude or tiktok teenager philosophizing about life. More people should pay attention to this dude.
2023-02-21

7. The best science podcast - The Into the Impossible podcast is one of the most fascinating science podcasts out there. What sets it apart is the way it tackles some of the most complex and cutting-edge topics in science without dumbing them down for a popular audience. The conversations that take place on this show are the same ones happening behind the scenes in the scientific community, and the insights and perspectives that emerge are truly mind-bending. If you're a science buff looking for a podcast that will challenge your intellect and expand your horizons, you won't find a better choice than Into the Impossible. Highly recommended!
2023-02-16

8. Interesting but now wandering away - Dr Keating is an engaging and effective communicator. Unfortunately he is more and more focused on “boosting fringe voices” or bringing in his political or religious views, and less and less explaining key concepts in consensus physics. He seems very motivated by clickbaiting and building an audience, which may be related to his motivation towards controversy over coherence.

1. I definitely recommend this! - The episodes are very immersive and are so relaxing to listen to. This podcast is very educationaI, and I love learning new things from it. I loved these episodes and can’t wait to see more from you guys and the interesting topics that you cover. I love your YouTube channel as well!
2023-03-03

2. What’d you expect? Tiny Tim? / show - Outstanding!! Just wish episodes came out with more frequency, but that is a good problem to have no? Folks love it so much we want more! Love the different hosts, their different flavors and POV’s, and subject matter expertise. Even that episode talking about the challenge of getting grants and a peek behind the scenes, very insightful and interesting.
2022-08-20

3. I’ve always loved y’all - I’ve been watching your YouTube videos for a long time, this is my favorite type of science, mostly because of the questions we still (and may always) have. I screamed when I heard that y’all had a podcast just for the mysteries! I love the one about the fake bones, awesome. Thank you!
2022-08-09

4. Loving this podcast! - I love being immersed in the imaginative world of the past at the beginning of each podcast and I love the info they share that helps me better understand the mysteries they’re discussing. I love what each host brings - all three rope me into the stories and make me want more! I’m writing this as their first season has wrapped - I’m hoping I won’t have to wait too long for the next!
2022-07-27

5. Haven’t Found Their “Thing” - I’m a big fan of these creators and their YouTube channel, but this podcast seems like lower-grade fare than anything you can find on the PBS Eons channel. I don’t want to sound impatient, but I wish they would cut to the chase with the intros. They are just too long and overly descriptive, without adding much substance. I often find myself skipping the first minutes or so because the host will summarize again once the little music jingle plays. It seems redundant and takes away around / of a podcast, being out of minutes just to give a round number. In a bad way, this podcast reminds me of the YouTube channels where people basically read Wikipedia entries and slap a couple of pictures together to make a slide show. For example: in the recent Denisovan episode, the location of the cave is described multiple times, in a way that seems like they’re just drawing out the time. Could we instead talk more about the specific adaptations Denisovans passed down to modern peoples, and maybe add some speculation in there? Bottom line, I’m tired of hearing info I’ve already learned, sometimes from the PBS Eons YouTube channel itself, in less detail on this podcast. There’s few fresh ideas or information, and little fresh discussion.
2022-07-14

6. Don’t be surprised that this podcast is amazing - The PBS Eons team are devoted scientists AND storytellers. You can tell that they have a passion for communicating not dry facts but fresh living knowledge. And after nearly a half decade on YouTube, the jump to Podcasting is off to an excellent start. Think of it like when a famous chef opens a new spin-off lunch restaurant. Are you surprised the food is amazing? No. But it’s still a delight to get to try it for the first time.
2022-05-31

7. Good idea, bad execution - Seemed like a good idea for a podcast and has great potential. However, it makes big picture claims that come across as rather surface level and degrade the rest of the story. (yes, it would be great if we could study the La Brea woman’s life not death but her “beliefs” aren’t something we have Evidence for so the question is a boring hypothetical) The podcast also insults the intelligence of its audience by presenting these fascinating events in a manner similar to children’s programming. (Why did you need to include the audience in the story of Piltdown Man? It felt out of place and geared toward the wrong target market) Seriously, you guys have gold on your hands bc this podcast concept is brilliant. However, unless these problems are fixed it won’t be listened to by the audience you are searching for.
2022-04-01

8. Finally!! - There aren’t enough podcasts about paleontology/anthropology, and Eons makes it so interesting and fascinating!! I just wish the episodes were longer… keep the short tidbits for YouTube and make the podcasts more in depth and thought provoking for the grown ups. Love you Blake & Callie!!!
