    Uniformed on many topics
    I understand that they want to cover many topics, but I don’t think they should talk on subject they’re clearly uninformed and uneducated on, especially science and health related.

    Wait. What?
    I can’t believe I haven written a review yet. I started listening in ~2017, and have been a fan ever since. Probably my all-time favorite podcast. I’m easily annoyed by a lot of podcast hosts after listening to hundreds of episodes, but not with SYSK. This podcast is a must. Great hosts and great content, and a great format. Update: still the f&$:@/? best. Update # 2: still the best.

    Great Stuff!
    Whether it’s in n the road, on the plane or bedtime, Josh and chuck are easy to listen to - sensible, funny and realistic The content is diverse and practical. Wish I’d found you guys sooner!

    The Best
    These guys are it. This show has gotten me through boredom, depression, anxiety, grief, quitting smoking, getting fired, the pandemic, family illness, family wellness, family trauma, new jobs, breaks ups, breakthroughs, breakdowns and most recently, ELECTION FATIGUE. I come away from every episode with just a little more information than I started with. Do I retain every grain of data? No way, but just comb through the episodes! You’re guaranteed to find something to fascinate you while waiting for: bus, plane, Uber, train, self driving taxi, pizza delivery, baby delivery, dentist’s appointments, doctor’s appointments, therapy appointments, basically any kind of appointment. Heck, there’s an episode devoted to most of the stuff I listed. It’s the show about EVERYTHING. You cannot go wrong. Just go listen. Want a first episode recommendation? How The Great Train Robbery Worked. Not to be missed. Do something good for your psyche. Give “Stuff” a CHANCE.

    Good job
    They are amazing. Their laughs are so awesome and they talk about the best movies and sometimes the worst movies. I find them really useful to doze off to and find interesting useful information.
  • Artist Couple
    One of my favorites
    Definitely one of my top podcasts, I listen to it all the time!
  • Jonnygmg
    Good on the surface…
    Great show, when you aren’t really familiar with the subject/content…. They cover a subject you know well and you realize how little they know and how much judgement and commentary they are adding…
  • Vagsmaker
    Terrible
    Horrible speed. Their laughs are very irritating. Show relays nothing of historical significance. Surprised their fan base is as wide as it is.
  • fhejfjtjgtnjmrekrm
    I thought I knew a lot!

    Terry fox episode please
    Please do an episode on Canadian Hero Terry Fox. His life and legacy are worth celebrating on the podcast
  • JustJosh_
    MEN…stration?
    Long time listener, but these two have progressed into unintelligible lunacy. They’ve adopted the ideas of the anti-scientific gender cult that seeks to reduce women to “People who menstruate.” Finally gotta cut ties with this one.
  • Sweetjennyd
    Great podcast
    Love love love this podcast! I wish there was a way within the podcast platform to I use (apples basic podcasting app) to search for specific topics, maybe there is and I just hadn’t figured it out…

    JoahandChuckrock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
    Hi josh and chuck!👋🏾 (if you read your reviews which you are such cool dudes that you probably do) I looooove your podcast❤️❤️. I’m 13 and have been a straight two year listener. You guys are awesome and have taught me about so many cool things. Everyone I meet asks me “how do you know that?” when I tell them a cool fact and I just say “I listen to Stuff You Should Know.” and they’re all like “oh cool me too did you know that Jupiter has a moon called hippocamp and a region of you brain that is used for memory is named after it?” And I’m just like “yup”😎

    Smart yet ignorant
    Josh and Chuck are incredibly intelligent and kind, but it’s frustrating how often they slip into left-wing talking points or stereotypes about Republicans that don’t reflect reality. It undermines their credibility when 5% of their otherwise thoughtful insights sound like propaganda, making them seem out of touch with the true perspectives of independents and many Republicans.

    Tu best team

    Since 2010
    I’ve been listening to Chuck and Josh since 2010, they’re estranged friends to me that don’t talk back lol…They know what they’re doing and their relationship with each other is enjoyable to listen to. I’m writing this review because I will taking quite a big break from them, I just wanted to say I love the podcast and I’m excited to come back in the far future to binge hours and hours of episodes. Ta ta for now boys

    Changed My Life
    Sometimes it’s just a little things that change your life for the better. When I stumbled up on this podcast four years ago, I was instantly hooked. Since and listen to it every day and I feel like Josh and Chuck are part of my family. I have learned so much over the years and thanks to a wide range of topics I can actually answer more questions on Jeopardy than before.

    Episode on Paramedics
    Hi! I’m a new listener and was shown your episode on How Paramedics Work. I’m an EMT and currently going to paramedic school and I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the accuracy and the light you’ve shined on us. You basically covered the entire first chapters of our book, very well. Also! I would like to say that if you guys find out how all the reimbursement happens and the payments works, please make an episode because most of us in the field don’t know lol!

    Bioluminescence - Lucifer
    Great episode. I have input about Lucifer. His job was to stand before God and basically refract His light. (You can’t look upon God or you will die. It’s why Moses could only look upon His back.) I’m trained in Theology, and the understanding is that Lucifer, standing with his back to God came to believe that everyone was worshipping him. People can worship anything, and he believed they would worship him. Then came his fall, and all the evil in the world.

    Come to Salt Lake City!
    Hey Josh, Chuck, and Jerry, I am from Salt Lake City and have been listening almost since the beginning I think the first episode I found was how shark attacks work from 2012. I’ve been listening ever since and anytime somebody asks about podcasts I tell them they need to check out Stuff You Should Know. You guys put on a great show and it’s gotten better and better over time. Keep it up and hope to see you soon. Christian Oliverson Eagle Mountain, Utah

    Good show. Discovered it in 2024
    Great content. Funny hosts. Sorry it’s so short.
  • Sheeprider
    A sincere thank you
    Truly, thank you for the years of entertainment and learning all blended together in just the right amounts. I’ve enjoyed listening for 10 years and the energy and enthusiasm you guys bring to the table for each topic is always on display. Keep up the great work.

    My Parasocial Besties
    I’ve been listening for nearly 7 years, I literally cannot imagine what my life would be like without this show. it’s altered the way that I think which has opened me up to so many ideas. And I retain so much of the information so much so that it is really a part of my life and a part of my conversations. Thank you!
  • Ne c'est pas une review
    Classic favorite
    I've been listening to podcasts for 11-12 years, on and off. Chuck and Josh are funny, informative, and you can listen to one here and there. Just the best.
  • madahsontay
    One of the greats!
    I’ve been listening for years and thoroughly enjoy SYSK. Chuck and Josh have great chemistry while making all covered topics understandable and easy to digest. I recommend SYSK to anyone looking for some informational easy listening!
  • luvohiostate
    My Go-To
    I’ve been listening for years and love it. So informative yet fun. Thanks, guys!
  • LoHa Street
    Very ad heavy
    I used to love this podcast since day one but it’s inundated with so many ads now that I spend more time hitting skip than I do listening. Every 10 min there are 15 mins worth of ads, it’s ridiculous. I can’t keep listening to this.
  • ipapamore5B
    Incompetent and biased.
    They claim the USA political parties switched, but can’t prove it. And one of these clowns says a Trump told people to inject bleach. The other clown claims Trump said to ingest bleach They don’t care for truth.
  • chhhhlllooe
    Love
    Possibly the best podcast in the world. Very informative but doesn’t drone on. Very entertaining. Love josh and chuck <3
  • jennymess
    Thank you!
    Your podcast has saved me from stressing out over politics! My whole family thanks you!
  • mindbeggar
    Random and interesting
    I am relatively new to this show and i find myself listening to episodes one after another. So much interesting information on things i knew and things i didn’t. The hosts are great, fun. It’s like hanging out with a couple of friends. So many episodes for me to catch up on. I can’t wait.
  • TYPE 2 for YOU
    Diabetes podcast
    Terrifyingly false information. Very remedial. Dangerous and misleading information. If you don’t know about a topic don’t pretend that you do
  • LilyViolet$
    Swatches
    Great podcast! I really liked your Swatches episode. You missed an important feature: personalizing your watch. Choose a watch online, drill down into that feature and you can create your own look. I was looking at the Paris watch and sent the link to my daughter who just returned from 2 weeks in France. I smell “sold”!
  • Moonreefer
    My favorite podcast!
    I can listen to this podcast anytime. Work, gym, commute. Y’all are the best!

    You Never Know What You’re Getting but It’s Always Good
    One thing I love about SYSK is that every day it drops into my feed, I never know what I’m going to learn about. I’ve been listening for about 8 months now, and I love the variety of topics Josh & Chuck cover. Naked mole rats, The Star Wars Christmas Special, How Ocean Currents Work, and so many more. Give it a listen, learn something, and get a new set of Parasocial friends.
  • Ashevillechick
    Together Facts, Fun and friendship
    I really enjoy listening to them just hanging out and teaching us all about stuff we didn’t even know we should know! You can tell they have a real love for each other as much as they love to learn about all kinds of stuff. I also like how sometimes it’s just enough to tease you to go learn about it some more on your own. Great job y’all! Keep it up!
  • Algo Rhythm
    So fun to listen to
    What a podcast!!! You know how podcasts are…. This one is better!!!
  • Mrsflanny
    Love Stuff!
    Been listening for years - this is one of my all time favorite podcasts! I love the positive and fun rapport between chuck and josh. It’s like hanging out with friends, all while learning something new. Keep it up!
  • Musikman72
    One of the greatest!
    I’ve been listening for years and this is hands-down one of the best podcasts out there for learning about all of the random things that make our world work. Josh and Chuck are amazing and their chemistry is fun!
