Another great podcast!
I am so happy that I have another great podcast from these guys! It took me a minute to warm up to this one but now it is one of my favs. Keep up the great work!

Funniest thing I've ever heard
Every episode leaves me gasping for breath and clutching my gut from laughing so hard.

Could use less wieners.
The lads are their usual, hilarious selves, with strong writing and only the occasional descent into crosstalk and indulgent inside jokes.
I also get the feeling that if there were at least one woman involved, there might be not quite so many rape jokes.

No SJW lunacy!
It is refreshing to listen to a podcast with Tom, Cecil, and Eli that doesn't turn in to a trump bashing social justice freak fest. I suspect Noah told them to keep that crap to their other shows so his aren't ruined.

How stupid is humanity? Funny story
I love these guys on their other podcast, but with the additional cast it grows ever better.
Basically if you like history, aren’t a stiff, and want to smile while learning, you are going to love this podcast. I’ve listened since day one and glad I have. Interesting stories give me a “did you know” story for my insanely hot girlfriend every day. Usually leads to some follow up research, some head hanging at the plight of humanity, and a lot of laughter in between.
Once again, if you are not a stiff, you will live this podcast. If you are a stiff, check out Cognitive Dissonance. Those guys are super mild, meek, god fearing, razor edge guys. Probably never even smelled a beer.

Ultra obscene fun
With a tag line like “We read a single Wikipedia entry and pretend we’re experts because this is the internet and that’s how it works now”, how can you not have fun?

The Folly of Mankind
I would trade every history class I've ever taken for episodes of Citation Needed. Why listen to a jaded professor read dry text from some boring old book in an uncomfortable room with unpleasant people for an outrageous fee when you could listen to the same stories read by five guys old enough to be professors but smart enough to make a living telling offensive jokes and pointing out that it's stupid to believe in things that aren't true! With the same commitment to accuracy as Wikipedia and an inspiring drive to revel in the folly of mankind, this podcast teaches the valuable lesson that there is no degree of human tragedy that can't be funny.

The most fun you can have when you have literally no other choice.
Before I began listening to Citation Needed, I had no idea that “Pug insurance salesman” was a career option. I quit the review.

Deep nonsense
This may well be the funniest and most serious podcast available. The Gang of 5 manages to find humor in the human condition, in a way that very few can. Beneath the hysterical comedy, there is a (generally) very deep social commentary. Listen and enjoy, then listen and think.

Worth it for laughs alone
Seriously, just subscribe to every podcast these guys do. This one is for laughs more than the others, but they are all hilarious. Their skepticism and atheism is in focus in the other shows, but all of them are funny and worth every moment.
Just do it. Enjoy the laughs.

Everything they do is amazing!
I am a huge fan of this group’s other podcasts (The Scathing Atheist, God Awful Movies, and The Skepticrat), so I was excited when they announced this new collaboration with Cognitive Dissonance’s Tom and Cecil, and I have not been disappointed! They all work well together, and the topics are always discussed in their usual witty and hilarious way! Please keep up the good work, guys!

Dangerous
Hope they are insured against listeners who sue because coffee sprays all over the computer while listening at home. They better have a rider for keyboards, for when the coffee comes out of ones nose.

A fun listen
I won't lie and say the content is great however I could listen to this group reading me the dictionary and it would still be great.

With hosts this good, literaly anything can be interesting
The love child of two amazing podcast companies, this show uses semi-random wikipedia topics as fodder to fuel interactions of the hosts. It's Citation Needed, where the expertice is made up and the end show quizzes don't matter!

These guys are hilarious!
I love the dynamic and the comedy that these guys bring to all of the topics they discuss. Whether it be this podcast- with the history and definition of things... or their other podcasts, which delve into topics spanning religion, politics, and movie reviews. Highly recommend that you check this show out!

Amazingly funny
I can't exaggerate how good this podcast is. Every episode has me (and the hosts) rolling with laughter! The hosts' self-deprecating humor is beyond hilarious and they always have the most clever way to frame historical events/people/places. Keep it up guys!

Funniest podcast and also teaches you things...kinda
The boys from scathing and cog dis have done it again. This is by far the podcast that makes me laugh out loud more than any other. They also teach a great things like why are eugenics is wonderful, why it's a bad idea to fill a giant tub with molasses in the middle of the city, and why it's a very bad idea to pretend to be a Chinese magician

My new favorite podcast
This is the one that is helping me get through all the horror consuming my life. So funny. These 5 together are perfection. Exponential humor

An apple program. I have betrayed my forebears to bring you this review.
Citation Needed is what so many listeners of it's sister shows (Cecil and Tom's Cognitive Dissonance and Eli, Heath, and Noah's full gambut: The Scathing Atheist, God Awful Movies, and The Skepticrat) have been waiting for for longer than we even knew it. These hosts are five men who absolutely belong together, preferably being recorded, as often as possible. Apart from their general hilarity and the incredible amount of work they all put into creating these audible masterpieces for us, they are also all genuinely good people insofar as we, the audience, can tell, and each is one you would gladly have for a friend. Though the subject matter of this particular show is light, fun, and a pleasant escape from the ills of our reality, the guys really still shine out as the unabashed defenders against injustice that they are on their other shows. Citation Needed is as laid back as it is informative, and is comedically the equal or the better of any other podcast I have heard.

A nice change up
If your looking for mid week hilarity this is the show for you. No politics, no religion, just reading Wikipedia and making fun of the absurdity in there. I can't recommend this show enough.

The gateway drug to more offensive podcasts
How do I relax and destress? I listen to the Citation Needed Podcast.
5 hosts, 1 wikipedia article, loads of crass, clever, and inappropriate humor, and a healthy amount of on-mic laughter.
Check it out if you want to "learn stuff" while having your sensibilities mildly offended.

Several Busckits of Fun!
These guys have great chemistry, they're always hilarious, always smart. I'm subscribed to a lot of podcasts and it's usually a struggle to find which one I want to listen to on any given day. When anything produced by these guys hits my feed it's an instant play!
