This is easily one of the best pods on the planet and one of my top 5 GOAT
In about 10 minutes, Gary delivers all you need to know on the most incredibly peripatetic topics. Here's a fact: Even the topics you look at in your pod app and think "Ahhh ... this one might not be for me ...." Bzzzzzzzz. Wrong. When you listen, you love it. I listen to a LOT of pods, and there are only a few that when I see their icon in my updated feed list, it gives me a little jolt of excitement. This is definitely one of those. Plus you get to sound really smart at cocktail parties and BBQs ... "Oh The Halifax Explosion of 1917? Did you know that ....."
If you have a hunger for knowledge this podcast is the perfect international buffet. A little bit of flavor from everywhere. Just like a buffet you may tend to binge but you won't have the regret afterwards. Keep up the good work!
Amazing show. Gary is a font of history, trivia, and things you didn't know you didn't know. Engaging and education, and above all entertaining. FIVE STARS!
Great podcast! Gary always makes the topics interesting and the show has become my go-to every morning while eating breakfast. Such a fantastic way to start the day!
Gary has travelled the world and shares all the neat things he's learned in short episodes that just fill your head with interesting facts and tidbits. It's not a travel podcast (he's a world renown travel blogger) but a history and knowledge podcast. I love it. Helps me polish my trivia knowledge.
We’re a military family who homeschools our son, Sean, and we listen to Everything Everywhere Daily every night before bed. Sean is going into 6th grade but because homeschooling allows us so much flexibility, we let his curiosity guide much of his learning. There are more than many times during which Sean has asked to see pictures of and/or dive even deeper into a subject that you have covered. Whether you know It or not, you’re Sean’s favorite teacher. His other teacher is learning new things alongside of him and she’s not quite as friendly as you are. Thanks for helping a homeschool Mom and kiddo out!

I have rated 5 stars for Everything Everywhere on Podcast Addict. I am happy to do it again here on podchaser for such a noble cause. There is so much that I have learned from Gary. Either on things that I knew about, like the Holodomor, but was glad to have learned more. And, on things that I had no idea about. Like Ignaz Semmelweis. That episode was fascinating. Especially since my best friend has a degree in biology and immunology and I had the opportunity to ask him about something that he wouldn't have thought that I learned about.
I wonder if Gary takes requests. There are many wonderful things for people to learn about my home state of New Mexico. From White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, and Chaco Canyon. To Billy the Kid, Coronado, and Kit Carson. It would be wonderful if Gary would be willing to pick a topic about New Mexico to expound upon.
I can't say enough how much I love this podcast and the work that Gary puts into it. I have binged all 663 episodes since I started listening just a little over 5 months ago. Even the encores. Keep up the great work, Gary!

The best thing to come out of COVID. Gary started this podcast because he couldn't travel and put his curious mind to work on this daily pod that is entertaining, fascinating and bite-sized. It really does span everything, and each subject he manages to make interesting because each is interesting to him. I'm more of a science and history nerd, and this pod definitely appeals to that, but even the sports subjects I find entertaining. And he has a great speaking voice! As long as he can make more episodes, I'll be listening.
Thanks Gary!

Thanks for the most recent episode on Cryptography.
Especially Alaska and Hawaii restaurants tend to have slightly higher prices, whereas the lowest prices are typically found in smaller towns in Mid-Western states.

I've listed to every episode since I first heard Gary mention this podcast on This Week in Travel.
It has been part of my daily commute and I always learn something new. Whether it's a new subject completely, or something new on a topic I already know.
I've recommended your podcast to family friends and we often chat about recent episodes (hi Theresa!).
This is a fantastic podcast. Gary has the uncanny ability to distill any topic into a concise, informative, and easy-to-follow 9-10 minutes podcast. And when I say any topic, I do mean any topic. As of today, Gary has done over 600 episodes. From the history of BBQ to the Apollo Space program, from the Istanbul Canal to the Survivorship Bias, one never knows what will be next. As a proud member of “I have listened to every episode club’, I am honoured to rate this podcast the highest rating on any scale.
At first I thought this was a nice, occasional break from daily news noise, then I realized this is far beyond novelty entertainment and is a rich variety of mentally nourishing, factual content that also integrates explaining things connected to current events as much as it delves into all ages past. I've become addicted to this and find I'm reaching for this in the morning to find out what's in the surprise box today, before any other podcast, or diving into old episodes when I need to hear a sane and reliably factual and objective voice. And he has a pleasant voice, so ... Bonus.
Now there is a podcast that puts the P in Perfect and the A in awesome. So how did JR got millions of dollars from Spotify for his podcast and not Gary? Things that makes me go hmmm. Maybe there should be a podcast on that one. Lol. Gary you do a fantastic job. I went though your entire episodes in one weekend and got my twin nieces and my nephew hooked and they have gone through all the episode. The other day I asked them what they think of the podcast and they all loved it, but my nephews says the history episode are very Eurocentric. He meant it not as critique, but he is curious how you pick your topics and what was your favorite continent you visited in the 10 year you traveled around the world and frankly I'm curious too as well as I plan to venture on similar journey. Keep up the good work!
For those on a diet of intellectual stimulation, Gary provides the nepenthe for the vexatious silent days of the weekly podcast: a daily, brilliant, polished, and compelling episode. Any persuasive attempt to trumpet this masterpiece would be inferior to the experience itself. Therefore, I implore anyone to peruse Gary's catalog and select the title of least interest. Listen to the episode that should prove impossible for you to enjoy. Then you shall surely understand. It will be......Magical. Still don't believe me? Watch this: Gary is about to say that the origin of magic is deserving of a future episode.
