I followed these guys from Today I Found Out, as I'm sure many have. Still in the backlog, but I love listening to these guys. They always have a mix of interesting and funny things up say.

Awesome podcast. Definitely my favorite. I like the facts and appreciate the amount of research put into it. I am a fan of tech episodes and stories mostly. Thanks and keep up the good work. Please never change how you are reading quotes!
