    Funny and informative but sometimes cringy
    It’s fun hearing random articles from wiki that you’d normally wouldn’t happen across. The blind reading aspect makes for some pronunciation attempts that are mutually hilarious for the hosts and the listeners. Rachel is delightful and Victor is insightful. However Victor has a tendency to be awfully dismissive, bordering on rude, to Rachel, hence the cringe.

    Good idea, bad execution.
    The idea of this podcast has a lot of potential but the way these hosts go about it leaves alot to be desired. They add nothing to the topic whatsoever; no thoughts or insights, just a dry read of a Wikipedia article in a tone of voice that sounds robotic and uninterested.

    Stop The Accents
    There a lots of good nuggets of info here in a quick and easily digestible format. However, the “accents” that VV does are incredibly annoying and often border on racist…I’m done with this one after his most recent.

    Honestly? Cringe.
    Goodness are these two even friends?? Absolutely no chemistry, and no thoughtful (or even hot) takes. Just a dry read from two strangers.

    Fun podcast
    I enjoy this podcast. The hosts read the articles at a relaxing pace, and their commentary is fun… although their voice acting skills could improve a lot. Has the podcast considered reading the Jonathan Blow article? He’s doing some highly innovative work… and has some spicy opinions haha.

    Why? Dear God, why?
    This podcast is scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel. This is what apparently passes as humorous entertainment (or even worse, as educational and informative). What it actually is, is a podcast featuring two terribly unamusing people reading Wikipedia articles. And it’s as dreadful and as pointless as its premise sounds. However, if you’re an illiterate, or maybe if you’re blind or need new glasses, or if you are too lazy to read a tiny Wikipedia entry all on your own , or if you suffer from a low IQ, or if you perhaps have no access to actual research books or any books, or if you’ve had a personality bypass recently, or if you’re a person who somehow finds New Yorker cartoons humorous or Shakespeare comedies truly hilarious…. then this pointless drivel of a podcast might be a delight for you.

    Great way to start the day
    Hosts are friendly and jovial, and don’t get in the way of the content. It’s a fun 10-15-minute start to the day.
