These fine gentlemen discuss an interesting topic each week. They provide thoughtful analysis of the topic, teaching us something new every week. They also do a skit shining light on a small portion of the article, and at the end also do a quiz, testing each other and also allowing is one last chance to learn.
This is a great podcast. The only way it could be better is if there was more of it. :)

Warm yourself by the dumpster fire...
The gang takes on random topics of interest and demonstrates week after week how anyone with a little curiosity and an internet connection can call themselves an “expert”. In fact, you can call yourself whatever you want to on the internet, and do they ever! So if you ever wondered, “Am I smart enough to discuss topics that I’ve never studied in-depth on a Podcast?” The answer is, “You don’t have to be smart, just funny!”

JonBenet Ramsey....need I say more?
Do you enjoy scripted comedy based on free-content, openly-editable web-based encyclopedia articles? Then this is the podcast for you! Wikipedia is entertaining all on its own; now imagine five charming atheist-podcasters analyzing random subjects with facts/information acquired solely from Wikipedia articles. It's entertaining to say the least.

Highly recommend
Fun way to get your friends into atheism, the sneaky way, without something atheistic in the title! Great show from the super group made up of Cognitive Dissonance and The Scathing Atheist/Skepticrat/GodAwfulMovies crews.

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.
