Let's chat about it! I'm a big fan and I'm looking to talk to other fans about the musings and topics of Josh and Chuck.
To those of you who haven't heard of them, well...

Go there and scroll around. Look for anything that seems interesting to you then download or just stream it. There's plenty to choose from!
Choose any episode, listen to them while you work or drive/ride anywhere. The hosts can make just about any topic interesting. Plus there are a ton of actually interesting episodes. How Action Figures works is a good one that comes to mind.
So, anyone listen to the latest LIVE from San Francisco episode about Malls? Why were there JAIL CELLS in malls?! Detention centers with chains and cameras?! Whaaaaat. That's some security.

Honestly these two hosts have a kind of demeanor and banter that makes you feel like you're just listening to a conversation between friends about neat stuff.
Check out How McDonalds works or the episode about he disappearance of the sodder children if you wanna be creeped out. How muppets work or how Jim Henson worked are good companion episodes. So many to choose from!

(10,345 posts)Well in this episode they had mentioned an old abandoned mall that had a room with chains and a camera like that. That makes sense though.

(10,345 posts)That essentially started all the spin-offs. Josh and Chuck are some of the most renowned podcasters because they were basically starting this show at the time podcasts were becoming a thing.
Also my wife and I LOVE Tracy and Holly from stuff you missed in history class! I actually just recently started diving into their archives but I was disappointed to learn that they aren't the hosts for all the episodes. Are Holly and Tracy new hosts or were there periods of time where they took a break from the show? We tend to favor the podcasts with them.
EDIT: Just did my research. The duo of Tracy and Holly exist from March 2013 and onward.
