What People Say About the Show
"I love explanatory journalism, and it’s explanatory journalism at its best. Simple questions that unfold into wondrous answers and, more than that, explorations."
- Ezra Klein, host of The Ezra Klein Show

- Ira Glass, host of This American Life

- Vulture, "Search Engine Is the Spiritual Successor to Reply All"
