rlycrvnsGoodThe perfect autistic podcast for me, an autistic person.

Behns13Next Episode is on ChernobylOne of my most favorite podcasts to listen to. Banter is top notch, the topics discussed are always something to sink into, and the chaos is next level. Always enjoy listening to this one, and you should too!

PadreScoutIt’s a good timeThis is one of my favorite podcasts. It’s consistently at least “appreciative grin” funny and quite frequently veers into “piss yourself laughing” territory (see the atmospheric railway episode). They usually have an expert guest for technical detail and are generally accurate in their facts. They are very transparent about the fact they are not experts and are occasionally wrong. They cop to it when they are, so I’m not worried about it. In general very funny, very irrelevant, good educational entertainment. I recommend.

MuohwhatNo. Can’t say that on Youtube.As a generally ignorant layman concerning engineering stuff, I find this to be a wonderful, palatable way to learn about the world and famous disasters. Even though this is primarily a slides-based podcast, I find the hosts do a good job describing what they’re seeing that I feel fine just listening. Also, I love all the tangents, not gonna lie. One of the funniest podcasts out there, and I hope that Trump (Youtube.) into a million (No.)

Azul2342WellThey say their names and then mention pronouns. Haha it’s 2025. All the mentally ill talk is gone. No one cares what you think you are anymore. Move on. Twats

Rigid Bridge EnjoyerWow! What a showMy favorite part of the show is when all three hosts shout “Well there’s your problem!”. It’s the best part of every episode

TutwilloDon’t waste your timeSaw this podcast mentioned on FB and it sounded really interesting. I expected a scientific dissection of the disasters and solutions to prevent them. It actually was a train wreck itself. The podcast was almost 2 hours long and I had to fast forward through the first hour because they’d barely got to the main topic. When they did, they constantly interrupted with stupid jokes that they all laughed at uproariously. The coliseum exploded on 10-31-63 and killed 80, injuring 400 (I had to go to Wikipedia for that btw) and they couldn’t stop laughing about popcorn machines. So disrespectful. With 28 minutes left I finally gave up. They’d probably only let the narrator get on with about 10 minutes of the actual topic. One star but would be zero. So boring.

A ChemBEGreat topics, poor delivery.I appreciate the topics selected and the information included but wading through the 50% of unrelated banter to get to it is such a waste of what could be a great podcast.
-
Goalie guy FredRailroad storyIts way too choppy you cannot follow the topic. Too often sounds like a bunch of semi drunk frat boys
-
Nick Tiner :)Please stop interrupting each otherLovely podcast, lovely hosts, lovely topics. Please just stop jumping in with bits so often. Can make it hard to follow a topic through the episode and adds 10-15 minutes to the run time. The bits are often funny, it’s just way too many of them during the content section.

beepbeepzipbangThis is a favoriteEntertaining, educational, and hilariously profane. They host play off each other well and are knowledgeable. The addition stories from listeners called Safety Third are also great. These folks clearly put in a lot of research and effort. History and engineering - I’m learning a lot.
-
ZorpisuttleA+ Seige of HogsmeadeI love the engineering info and the way the hosts riff off each other and clearly care for one another. I was inspired to leave a review because the Seige Engines episode was so fun! I also adore Safety Third. Overall, while nothing annoys a leftist like listening to other leftists with opinions 0.01% different from theirs, I appreciate the sincerity of the frustrations expressed. Sometimes I’m not in the mood for whatever the particular flavor of rant is, but it is clearly baked into this podcast’s concept so it’s kind of silly to complain about it. The news-heavy portions or episodes are less interesting to me (especially since I’m not listening in real-time, I don’t really want to relive the early pandemic days and the Trump presidency) but they’re at the beginning of the episode or in one-off episodes so they are easy to skip if you choose.

Mr(s). AliceWho knew engineers were so sassy?Uninformed and pretentious. The only humor involved is that one of the hosts is confused as to which gender he is
-
ChaoticKyleHilarious and InformativeThis show is one of my absolute favorites! I listen to the podcast as well as watch the YouTube version because I love the show so much. The episode are dense with information and filled with laughs. The hosts always find a way to make the topics engaging and entertaining! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cool show about engineering!

Seeker2077no thank youAll the pro gun, candy flavored energy drink- chugging misogyny and ableism of a DSA chapter meeting but with an engineering degree and a military collectibles shopping process addiction.

BrooklynGambitMy favorite podcast everAbsolutely hilarious and surprisingly informative. Subscribe to their Patreon to get extra episodes!

maggiefiascoFunny ELI5 for wild stuff in historyI am a music/linguistics/art type person who is math and science phobic but still very curious about history and thirsty for knowledge. They do such an amazing job making all sorts of engineering-type things not only accessible and understandable but also very funny. Entertaining, love it!

Breaky01Fun, free, goonyWatching idiot bigots meltdown in 1 star reviews of this podcast sustains me. Keep up the good work boys and girls.

Screamin GriffinI love this podcastThe most unhinged thing about me is I fall asleep to this podcast every night (yes in an autistic way)

N9oumenaPerfect.I can’t believe that I find myself falling in love with this trio. I feel seen. I feel held. As is always the case the folks telling the biggest and most righteous truths are also the funniest people in the world. And for the haters: writing a negative review ain’t gonna make you smarter than these folks… maybe see if they might change your mind, cause my bet is they could. Jump in, the waters fine.

Dr.KatizbrouAnnoyingJust couldn’t get past one of the annoying hosts talking too much. Also, when you talk over each other in a podcast it makes the audio really hard to understand.
-
redmax7156Waiting for Godot-level cynical humorSometimes it makes me cry laughing, sometimes it just makes me cry. Been binge-listening for three weeks, often re-listening to episodes to learn more things + laugh again. Can be hard to follow if you listen here instead of on YouTube where you can see the slides.
-
orderfromchaosUnsubscribedWent on about how evil Israel is and ranting about a cease fire without mentioning the hostages still held and the murder and rape and rape and murder. Yes, war is bad but Israel is allowed to defend themselves against terrorism. Apparently the hosts never heard about the holocaust. Maybe stay w engineering and consider reading a history book.
-
Turtle SaviorIrreverently Unpacking HistoryA not too serious but often enlightening discussion of history with laugh-out-loud commentary. Kinda like a discussion with your slightly cynical, well-read, friends over a beer. Obv, a buncha dudes chatting so may not be everyone’s cup of tea but if you want to learn about a London ferry boat sinking in a sewage-filled river due to bad judgment and similar issues, give it a try.
-
The wooden malletListening to this at workI’m just trying not to get turned to a soup like homogenate.
-
TJwheeliePolitical, engineering or middle school comedy?The description of leftist is correct but is this supposed to be a political pod that covers poorly constructed engineering points with bad comedy or an engineering pod with poorly constructed political rhetoric and bad comedy? And stop interrupting guests with a bad joke
-
SkolniaGood Chemistry but political leanings ruin it for meI’ve listened to about 10 episodes over the past year. They seem like a typical group of friends just with a very very leftist lean. Most of it I could just ignore but I really wish I didn’t have to hear so much coded anti-Israel rhetoric. I wish I didn’t have to hear any political talk on a podcast I found in order to get away from politics but thems the breaks.
-
CJ SchendelGreat ChemistryI am always drawn to podcasts that are really just friends chatting about things they enjoy. If you are interested in learning a little and laughing a lot, this is the podcast for you. The lesson I’ve learned from this podcast is that a lot of people are idiots. It is a lot of fun.

Matto70799Fun podcast - check out the slidesAlways a good time. Enjoy the rambling and the jokes.

JohnneeBullEpisode 119Folk, Thanks loads for what I consider the best evidence possible that American Capitalism is a very bad thing for humanity. Episode 119 ( on the history of the RR industry) highlights the very reason my oldest daughter (a fan of your show) is employed in St. Paul, MN as an electrical engineer. Her employer has her working on RR yard updates and rebuilds. She also dislikes the tier 1 RR companies. BH Ohio (send help)

Cpt. LightbeardMy favorite source for actionable threatsAlso they talk about trains and bridges or something.

Kate FitzsimonsAlways good for a laugh… If you have a dark sense of humor. And I do! Also, of particular interest to train fans.

Giras Von NachoExcellentLove the mad 1 star reviews from conservatives in the comments. Stay butthurt losers!!
-
CallmeShugoshinFrom a lions led by donkeys listenerCame here because some hairy Armenian guy wouldn’t shut up about them. Not saying I’m a captive audience but for some reason the doors won’t open in this audio format of a room with….slides of all things. Seems like a safety violation but they got me and I just can’t quit them.
-
apl-ceramicistHilarious but you also learn stuffThis is the podcast version of grabbing beers with your friends at the bar and somehow getting into an in-depth conversation about some engineering disaster. Also, as someone who used to live in Philly I love the frequent digressions into Philly-specific rants. Makes me laugh. Never change.
