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

I gave this review 5 stars because I don’t want to burn you with the metrics, but my honest review would be 2 stars . In the last few months you guys have had a lot of “skips.” I’ve also listened to several shows and after the first 10 minutes tapped out due to boredom. The ad breaks are Incredibly long now, but I ff. If the powers that be are trying to take the show in a new direction, it’s not working for me :(

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

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

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

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

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

I’d listen to this show a lot more if their episodes actually played.

Really enjoyed this topic about John Jay Astor. What’s weird is that I was working the NYT crossword while I was listening when I came across this clue: “Founder of the Pacific Fur Company, 1810.” Whoa! So, thanks for the help with the answer! Love the show. Susan, Plano, Texas

There are very good discussions in these podcasts. Many different things that would not otherwise be on my radar have been discussed here. I think it’s good to shine a light on stranger news stories that get lost in the shuffle. My favorite episodes are anything related to cryptids.

Pleasant words for matt Noel and Ben

I spend all my free time listening to this show - along with anything else that Ben, Noel, and Matt are involved in. I then take all the new things I have learned and word vomit them all over my friends and loved ones. Awesome show. Thanks for the great work that you guys do.

Spoiler alert, IT IS! I’ve been listening to this show for a few years and it never disappoints. They do a great job of keeping things entertaining. All three hosts do a great job. Keep up the good work guys!

Really into this topics

Love this show, I've been listening to these guys for years. Very informative, descriptive with natural humor added in. Multiple topics of the weird, strange and present day prominence.

These guys are entertaining. They definitely have voices for radio as I’ve subscribed through my phone when I found them many years ago. Looking for something to pass the 30 minute drive to work their episodes are just the right amount of time to cover one topic each day. I love how they are able to make even some of the most uninteresting topics a joy to learn about. And it makes me sound intelligent when conversing with others. May they always have something to tell us about and in this crazy world I’m sure they will.

Absolutely love this podcast. All of the guys are very funny and interesting. I know there at a lot of negative comments about their banter but I think it’s fun. 10/10 pod. The funniest and most intelligent dudes around

Love the show I listen most nights as I fall asleep which is just a lot of kinds of fun 😋🐿

“Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know” is one of my go-to podcasts. I searched for a podcast that presents cool, sometimes odd, yet interesting “stuff”. And this one is my favorite! Ben (they call him) has that unique ability to be excited by every subject he covers. Is like having a best friend letting you in on that cool thing you might never have known about. Thanks folks!! Keep it cool and sometimes weird!

I’ve been listening for years and listen to every episode. Love you guys, you’ve kept be company during many times, including when I was giving birth to both of my daughters! 😂

It’s like watching an episode of ancient aliens, followed by a binge of National Geographic, interspersed with some current events and then listening to a couple of your really smart but relatable friends break it down. Love these guys

Ben, Noel & Matt are very entertaining!!! Love the shows!

I’ve been listening to almost every episode by these clearly intelligent humans for years now. I appreciate their perspective and the broad range of topics. Turn on your critical thinking skills and give em a listen!

I’ve been listening to these guys for years!! A week doesn’t go by without listening to them!!!!

Great show! Great people! Great chemistry! Keep it up! This is my favorite podcast!!!

In addition to the fascinating topics that initially pulled me into listening, over time I’ve loved hearing how the hosts balance their personal views on a topic with being respectful of other viewpoints. This seems like a crew I would genuinely love to chat with over a beverage.

Its like “stuff you should know” but with a darker side. Always look forward to new episodes.

SUPER guys, humble and demure know more than you may think. These guys explore THE most interesting avenues of history. From paranormal to lore to industry to tech, space force and BE-yooond deep dive into topics seldom discussed openly and honestly. You never have to worry about credibility. They have receipts and present sides of these stories and leave it up to you to decide. As another Atlanta alumn I truly enjoy their down to earth approach they are never being too provocative or political. They’ve been at this a while and I hope forever!

Love the show!!! Hi Doc!!! Okay bye. 5 stars

These guys are great! I’m learning new things every episode while also laughing. They 100% keep it real while giving us history, current events, and conspiracies 5 days a week.

Ben/Matt/Noel are the best. Great chemistry between these guys and you can tell they are friends outside of the show. I listen everyday and they never disappoint. The shear variety of their stories is awesome. I never know what to expect and they always make sure to do such a good job researching. Love these guys!

Always new crazy stuff. I’m not a fan of the supernatural stuff they do, but that’s only around Halloween usually. Other than that, phenomenal stuff. I think Ben is an alien, but more to be discovered

Hopefully your boss doesn’t murder you and you sleep well at night.

I’ve been listening for years now and look forward to every episode posted by the crew

I remember listening to this when it was on YT b4 it became a podcast. Still as entertaining, still as educational. Always telling me stuff they dont want me 2 know. Many hours of entertainment during long commutes & road trips. Keep up the great work. P.s. they have a gr8 vocabulary. 🌞

Definitely a favorite and never miss an episode! These guys are super smart and have great perspectives - love it!!!

This show reveals what is out there that we do not know about. Having an insight to the strange happenings is mind opening with fair and thoughtful hosts.

The overall idea of this podcast and subject matter has potential but currently it’s a circle jerk of egos between three guys. And can someone give Noel an inhaler or help him with cadence and breathing into the mic?

This is the best podcast around. So informative, and the chemistry between you guys is amazing.

I have been listening since the video days. I have never written a review, but I wanted to say that I love this show. I gravitate toward podcasts in which the hosts sound like they enjoy one another’s company. These 3 guys are clearly friends and deal with a variety of interesting topics well. I appreciate their generally balanced approach too. Even though political subject matter is discussed frequently, it never feels awful and hopeless (like it does everywhere else). I would change nothing about this show. A+.

I absolutely love you guys. You’ve taught me so much over the years. I listen to you none stop, right now especially while setting up my kindergarten classroom. Thanks for the great conversations, laughs, and knowledge.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years, and it’s one of my all time favorites! The topics are always interesting, and I appreciate how well researched the topics are! I also love that the information is presented in a non-biased way and the guys are always respectful of their listeners personal beliefs. This is a comfort podcast for sure, and I can listen to it on repeat. Keep up the great work guys!

Great in depth info on some amazing subjects! Love the strange news updates that go beyond the headlines on the weird stuff every week.

I appreciate everything about this show. Even the Listener Mail episodes are entertaining. Every time Ben says, “They call me…..”, it’s in the cadence of “they call me big elly”. It’s makes me smile every time. It’s the little things…. Love this podcast and Ridiculous History for me and my fellow conspiracy realist.

Perfect blend of humor, opinion, and fact.

Love this show. The hosts are great at what they do and they each bring an interesting perspective to whatever topic is being covered. Been a listener for over 5 years. Thanks for the entertainment.

If you unironically use “woke” you’re probably going to hate this show. If you’re not a little weirdo muppet you’ll love it.

Been listening for years and years and it’s always been a great listen. Keep up the good work, fellas!

this group is always keeping ideas both old & new fresh, inspecting conspiracies from a rational angle, and keeping their ears to the ground for all the curious & fringe of the modern world.

Good info delivered in a thoughtful and easily digestible manner. Thanks everyone 🤝🏼
