The Why Files is fast-paced, entertaining, willing to consider any topic, and embeds outstanding info & references

The Why Files podcast is a truly one-of-a-kind cast. It’s whimsical, sometimes Sophomoric, but fast-paste, and data-dense. The podcast offers up references, and are easily accessed via their notes section for each episode. Each episode is unique, some far-flung, some physics-centric (which I like, especially at the theoretical and quantum levels), but all have a storyline that draws you into the topic. It’s how I wish more formal educational ventures were presented and pursued.

Gertie loves to dance!

Fun, informative, and full of light-hearted mystery. I like how things are debunked when the evidence disproves the legend, but there's always an opening for wondering about more. Plus Hecklefish is absolutely hilarious! He's the little voice in our heads let loose on the world.

perfect

alot of " conspiracy " like to embellish the story and while AJ and heckle do spin an entrancing story, they also break down the truth and science.
