The show that nurtures CURIOSITY
What differentiates this show from the other show of a similar name is that the other show discusses facts they are interesting, but often useless. Just fun things to know. However, Mike consistently and frequently discusses topics that are PRACTICAL and USEFUL for your everyday life. I love both styles. I love learning new things, but I am also the kind of person that likes to know things that will help me be a better person and to live a better life. This is a show everyone can benefit from if you’re inclined to reach for something better in your life. This is a show for curious minds, and THAT is something you should know.

Informative podcast
I have been listening to this podcast for about two years now. Many episodes are quite informative. I find my next audiobook from podcast guest speakers. I also like that Mike asks good insightful questions and his voice is so pleasant to listen to. I wish listeners could also ask questions. Maybe there could be some kind of a preview of upcoming guest speakers and listeners could submit their questions? Just an idea…

LOVE this podcast!
I constantly listen to this podcast. It has made me see the world with a better perspective and I feel smarter and happier because of it. I feel comfortable talking about subjects I would not typically know about otherwise. I am sure I will have listened to all of them available to me one day. Thanks Mike and everyone for creating such a great podcast! Keep it going!

Interesting Bite Size Info

Love this one
Great podcast that makes you think. I have actually read some books that were recommended by this show. I love the little tidbits/facts he provides at the beginning and end of the show too. A must listen. 🙂

Great Podcast!
I was introduced to this show during the pandemic and have been a faithful listener ever since. Mike does a great interview. No softballs or traps for his guests. He respectfully challenges them while exploring their views. It is one of my “go-to” podcasts.

One of my favorites
I’ve listened to this podcast since before it was a podcast and a short spot on my local radio station. I’m pretty sure this is the original and not ripping off the other similar podcast that is not as professionally produced. My only complaint is the number of commercials from the same company - no I am retired and DON’T need Indeed! I know Michael usually stays away from promoting supplements so I was surprised to hear one on a recent show. Please don’t start that.
I appreciate that usually the show avoids politics which is very refreshing to me. Overall I highly recommend this podcast.

Really worthwhile
Great Podcast. Mike brings in great researchers and speakers. I love the way he asks questions so that I can understand what to take away from the conversation. I am intrigued to listen to every episode. Thanks a lot Mike! I appreciate your wonderful podcast

Informative, fun, easygoing and simply brilliant
The most informative podcast out there. Love how easy it is to listen to, how the information is relayed in a fun, easygoing and engaging way. No snobbery or trying too hard. Thank you for this brilliant podcast; I’ve learnt an immense amount of valuable things 😊

Makes my day
I enjoy this podcast so much. So many hidden gems. So often I say to myself I’m so glad I listened to this today! Mike Carruthers voice and way he speaks is wonderful and really pleasant. But more importantly he asks great informed questions that really add to the presenter’s topic. Just love it.

Good Podcast
I generally enjoy SYSK. Mike is so very pleasant to listen to and most of the time the info is useful. Just have to say I’m so tired of people misrepresenting the change in Roe vs Wade. The decision simply sent authority back to each state. The Gestapo did not ban abortion.

Optimism
Generally enjoy the podcast but when a guest relates an individual who promotes the great replacement theory as an optimist - that seems obviously contradictory and removes some credibility.

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! Elizabeth

Informative & Entertaining
What a pleasant way to learn all kinds of obscure and practical information! Love the flow, combination of guests, and random information. Narrator with soothing voice.
