    Take a break from the severe
    In a time when everything in the world feels so unrelentingly serious, this podcast is like coming up for air. Not often do you get to listen to such personal stories told so lightheartedly through one’s experiences of the unexplainable weirdnesses of the world.
  • LilDustSpeck
    Weirdos Galore!
    Very edutaining! Dan’s humor shines as he spends time chatting with nichely-known people. If you’re a prrson curious about the world around you, give a listen! You’ll be hooked!
  • JPthr33
    Not to brag but…
    Not to brag but…I am subscribed to all of Dan’s podcasts/shows. And I love them equally but just like a good parent wouldn’t say which child is their favorite I won’t say which is the best show. However I particularly enjoy the format of this programme (sorry Rhys and Buttons). Thank you for your hard work, Dan, and please continue.
  • XXVI
    Junk Science made entertaining
    Non experts discuss junk science and conspiracy related topics presented in a entertaining way. I’m assuming that most of the guests and the host don’t actually believe this junk but I enjoy listening anyway. It’s kind of like driving slow past a car crash.
  • Kwistofo
    No
    Serious disservice to lean on QI and NSTAF for credibility only to put out conspiracy fuel. You’re part of society’s problem, Dan
  • Old house fan
    Unique and interesting
    Unique and interesting podcast! Look forward to every episode!
  • milosz on the wing

    Great show, much entertainment! I think you’re still a touch stuck in rational materialism, but which is understandable considering your general cohort. Still exciting to watch your journey, and perhaps watch interests expand. Good fun!
  • MoRo7004
    Can’t get enough!
    I can’t believe the range of fascinating things covered on this show- so much more than advertised! Totally skeptic friendly, fact-based but curious and so much fun.
  • JulyDot
    Interesting
    Fun show. Interesting topics and guest. I will be binging it this week!
  • Katlars_
    Obsessed
    Have been a major Fish fan for years but putting it on hold to binge ALL these eps - Dan, you’re the best!!
  • takinite
    Nice Skeptical Observation
    If it was a book I wouldn’t burn it.
  • L_Hawk15
    Dan Does It Again
    Dan is highly entertaining and has the most interesting guests. He’s humble, asks the best questions, and isn’t afraid to be unapologetically himself. I learn something new every episode and find my mind opening to new possibilities and ways of thinking. Listen now, you won’t regret it!
  • Nbooster
    Stay weird
    Thirst for knowledge and a penchant for the peculiar is what makes Dan one of my favorite people to listen to. This show explores so much wild stuff while remaining reasonable and respectful. It feeds the little kid in me who used to scour the local library for all the books about unexplained phenomena and helps me stay weird. Wonderful show.
  • jennyl724
    Dan makes it great!
    Dan’s humility, non-judgmental attitude, and desire to learn makes this the great podcast that it is! I love that he asks the dumb-dumb questions that I’m wondering too and he’s not afraid to ask. Love this podcast!
  • Aarbee13579
    Clever, funny, weird, beautiful, respectful
    Love the immensely respectful way in which some bizarre and uncommon beliefs are talked about, with zero judgement. I’m a long time listener of No such thing as a fish, and was hesitant at first to explore beyond the comfy podcast where 3 of the 4 hosts won’t be joining, but quickly found that I love listening to these theories and for a few moments in my day I enjoy imaging what it would be like to prescribe to these beliefs!
  • Mattlowrie
    Fantastic!
    A clever and fun idea for a podcast, Dan Schreiber proves once again that he is perhaps the most genial man in comedy. The philosophy of the show is fun to inhabit and can help you appreciate our idiosyncrasies and bizarre beliefs
  • Pack_of_5
    One of my favorites!
    Fascinating podcast! Found Dan via Cryptic Factor and he is amazing. Entertaining and educational!
  • DinoMiteBows
    Wonderful interviews
    I have enjoyed every episode of this fun, thoughtful, delightful show. Please keep it up, Dan!
  • Glenzar
    Simply tremendous
    Like many listeners, I’m sure, I came to this after being a fan of No Such Thing for many years. Already introduced to his passion for weirdness and looking forward to this tremendously, I was not prepared for how insightful, thought-provoking, and captivating this podcast would be. Dan is a superb interviewer, bringing out the best in his quite interesting guests while bringing his own wit and intelligence into the mix as well. Just wow. Thank you for this, Dan.
  • Thisreally
    Exactly what I needed
    This is such a fun podcast. It fills a void on the podcast space that is accessible and informative. Keep up the great work Dan & co.!
  • Grey_Horse27
    Weirdos Unite!
    I literally cannot recommend this show enough. I’m obsessed and I don’t know why everyone else isn’t too. It’s thoughtful, insightful, hilarious, endlessly fascinating, and full of the joy that only deep curiosity in all there is to experience in life can offer. @schreiberland is killing it and I’m here for it all.
  • Beaustucki
    Look around
    Stay curious
  • great66213
    Great
    It’s a wonderful blend of ’No Such thing as a Fish’ and a woo woo romp.
  • Pferde01
    Playful and curious
    Attracts the playful and curious as guests! Love it.
  • Cooleycotton05
    Well done and super interesting
    This is such a great podcast. I didn’t think it would be for me as I’m not usually into the more out there topics, but holy smokes I got hooked. Wonderful, interesting, and weird. Definitely a good listen. Well done guys!
  • Victoria Roos
    My New Favorite Podcast
    I’m a fan of all things QI and No Such Thing As A Fish. As a lifelong fact hunter, this podcast scratches an itch. The topics discussed here are entertaining, weird and handled with a good mix of curiosity and fun. I feel seen!
  • Metzpah
    Weirdness is fun
    Dan seems to be interested in much of the same crazy stuff I am and has the connections to bring us the best stories and personalities, presenting us with entertainment and inspiration for what I hope will be shared with us for a long time.
  • Poppy Corn
    My cat Oliver loves it!
    Both Olly and I love it despite Dan's porcelain feet.
  • LA_Bluebird
    So interesting and entertaining!
    Love Dan from ‘No Such Thing as a Fish’ and his new podcast doesn’t disappoint. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen!
  • Tsering Darge
    Easily as engaging as No Such Thing
    I’m enjoying Dan’s podcast as much as I enjoy No Such Thing as a Fish. Dan is so enthusiastic and so interested that it is wonderfully infectious. Any podcaster worth their salt should learn from Dan, and at bare minimum beg to be a guest in this show.
  • Megan Drew
    Weird and fun!
    Dan is an awesome weirdo who champions weirdos. It’s about all the weird things people believe, but Dan is obviously an open minded, curious and enthusiastic human and has made a fascinating podcast for any other curious folks out there. Great listen, looking forward to more!
  • wilde_moon
    Fun and uplifting!
    Dan is such a personable interviewer, and his excitement is infectious. The show is just a good time, with interesting people.
  • my life is a tech life
    It’s epic!
    Loved Dan from no such thing as a fish and glad to see him get his own podcast and his own adventures and have so much fun doing it. It’s hilarious and weird and definitely makes you feel a little bit better about being weird. Lol
  • Nmgg754
    Clever and interesting
    Love this new podcast from my fav fish. Looking forward to listening!
