Rate ShowAlways makes you wondering….
Every episode brings something new. It’s not repetitive, always informative, and genuinely makes you think. One of the few podcasts where I feel like I’m learning something every time I listen.

Something Stuff
The something versus stuff debate in this comment section is hilarious.
in case you didn’t know….there are 1 billion podcast out there and both of these are valid and good

One of my favorite podcasts!
Mike selects interesting subjects and is a great interviewer. Soothing voices, not shrill, very important!

Very good
I try to wait a while before writing a review because it is easy to get caught in the novelty of something you just discovered. After several years of listening to SYSK, i can honestly say it is my favorite podcast. The guests and topics are interesting, but above all Mike doesn’t just nod and move along. He dares to challenge the guests when what they say seems off or like blanket statements. He asks uncomfortable questions to make sure the guests don’t just feed us “their” truth. The segments are just 20min which is the right length to stay captivating and not too long. If you’re new, know that Mike has 2 obsessions: the expression “when your number is up, your number is up”, and people who take too long to pick a dish on a menu ahaha and that is why i love him. Thank you, Mike.

Awesome Podcaat
I spend more time listening to this podcast and all my other ones put together. The host is insightful and an excellent interviewer. He’s always asking the questions that I would ask if I was present. The people he interviews are always interesting and I really enjoy listing to their explanation of the fact he is interviewing them for. I also really like the fact that, unlike the Something You Should Know podcast, he never comments in such a way that reveals his political inclination. I’m just here to listen and get facts not to try and have my political belief swayed by a commentator. Mike Carruthers does not do that and I appreciate it.

Love listening and learning
This podcast about optimism was interesting, but a cild norm into wealth and prestige as did Elon Musk, is radically going to have differing self and world views of optimism than a child born and raised in squalor or war time or just being born a working class person in America, where opportunity today is limited. Economics still colors optimism or its lack thereof. Thanks!

Something/Stuff
The shows are very different. Something has one host and two guests and is more interview driven and Stuff has two hosts and no guests and is more banter/talk driven. I like them both. Btw, Something You Should Know was on the radio long before Stuff ever started so no rip off there.

Fascinating episode on AI
The podcast on ‘How to Make Better Use of AI’ opened up a whole new world for me. Thank you for choosing such practical and insightful topics—exactly what I needed to learn! 😉

Ripped off. SYSK” from stuff you should know podcast!
I don’t understand how you could rip off my favorite all time podcast.

Focus episode was awesome!
I truly didn’t think about listening to music while doing tasks and it’s affect on my concentration until the guest speaker mentioned how lyrics in songs could inadvertently distract my thinking. Very helpful input and discussion!

Mike Carruthers
Absolutely love this podcast! One of my favorite, I enjoy learning new things, practical tips I can use and I must say I LOVE Mike’s questions to his guests! Never afraid to ask the hard questions and question the answers he is given!

Excellent
I especially like the fact that Mike asks really great questions. Often the exact questions I would ask if I was interviewing the person. This podcast teaches me so many new exciting practical things! Love it!

The stupidity episode
I love the guest speaker who was talking about stupidity and was using San Francisco’s liberal Woke policies as an example of stupidity. I’m surprised the host didn’t come right out of his seat because it must’ve hit him where he lives. He was practically arguing with the guest trying to defend letting criminals go without punishment.

Long time listener
Great Podcast.. I tell everyone about this show! However it's sad to see how narrow minded some of his guests are on conspiracy theories .. Books don't lie, if they did they would be sued for slander.. Plenty of Books have been published on JFK/RFK/ MLK & 9-11..Dissent is an intellectual pursuit.
