    Thank you!
    Hello, thank you for sharing your expeditions. Really enjoy listening to all of you and your teams adventures! Thank you! Really cool stuff.
  • Ethan Hoggard
    Joke
    Basically just an audio only version of the tv show
  • Heytiny
    Interesting but podcasts aren’t a visual medium
    I really like the topics, the information, I even like the cheesy jokes. My only complaint is that they took the discovery channel show and just made it into a podcast so a lot of the visual moments are just weird “swooshing” sounds or music with NO context. There are a lot of times where I’m wondering what’s going on or what something looks like because there is no description… because this was made for TV.

    Lay off the music
    The pyramid of legends episode was ridiculous. We don’t need constant dramatic music.
  • MoMatt77
    Promising but disappointing
    Normally a show about this kind of subject matter would be right up my alley, but this wound up simply being the audio portion of a video. It’s clearly not intended for an audio-only experience. Nobody describes what they are looking at. The narration cuts in and out to focus on stuff that a viewer would see, but we can’t. Not worth listening to at all in my opinion
  • AndroX4
    Awesome!
    I love this show, i realize it’s just clips from the tv show but i always miss that so this is a great way to listen. He’s very descriptive anyways and I have no trouble imaging what he’s doing and what it looks like. I need a new episode!
  • Usercc1154
    Rating of “clean” not accurate
    Curse words were bleeped out for more recent episodes. However, earlier episodes did not have curse words bleeped out and my boys (under 10 yrs old) had to hear the f- word twice and two other curse words in the first 12 or so minutes. Had to turn it off. Cursing is fine if that’s the kind of show you want to make - just don’t advertise it for kids and put the rating as “clean.”
  • Alzerreca
    This show is very interesting
    I like Josh Gates he is funny I can see the tv show in. My mind sometimes you need imagination
  • Mickeyray6
    Should be on History Channel
    That title is not a complement. I listen to podcasts, this show needs to be watched if it is given any attention at all. Reminds me of some of the Ghost hunter shows. Learned nothing , this guy just wanders around and wastes people’s time with stupid questions. Just looked Josh gates. I realized he is the host I hated on Ghost Hunters.
  • User4785
    Always interesting
    Very well produced and always fascinating!
  • B0B709
    It’s ok
    It’s good for any body looking for adventure but uses clips of the show. Josh tends to use visual clues that show important details we can’t see that’s why it’s only 4 stars. If you’re done here I need to tell you about someone who has a crush on Josh even tho he looks like my 5th grade math teacher
  • mikeinnville
    Tough to follow without visuals
    Tough to know what’s going without the visual aspect of the show - and consequently moves a lot slower than an audio only podcast.
  • Bigblue5953
    Great show
    Love listening to these! Funny, interesting, and educational. My parents watch them on TV and I listen lol. Can’t wait to watch them now too
  • schlenky1
    Great Show
    💖 the show but it’s pronounced..Myamar Lu ke My a Mar!!
  • VBall13 97
    No New Content
    I love Expedition Unknown and was thrilled to see there’s not a podcast. Although they just use the audio from existing episodes. So if you’ve already seen the show, don’t expect to hear anything new on the is podcast.
  • cool guy👍😀🤘🏼🥷🏿
    JOSH IS MY CRUSH!

  • P1BK
    Not bad, but…..
    Love the tv show, and this was certainly an entertaining listen. BUT……since it’s just a replay of the tv show audio, there are way too many visual cues and references. Not sure it works 100%.
  • SpudMillions
    A must listen for adventurers
    The podcast took a while to add episodes but it is now steadily adding new ones! Josh does a great job taking you through history. Each show is a new adventure and learning experience.
  • Teamfatman76
    Lazy podcasting
    I love Josh and his show. But this podcast is just lazy. These are classic episodes in audio only format (minus the beeps for cursing). I would be much more interested in a podcast from Josh and a co host (like Evan the camera man), even if they just rehash the trips and stuff from old episodes that would be far better than this. Maybe provide us with updates on projects you've worked on if there isn't enough to warrant a follow up episode.

    You call him Dr. Jones! Doll!
    I love this guys Indiana Jones approach to his show. Probably because Indiana Jones is my childhood hero for sure. I’ve never owned a TV my entire life. But I have watched the show when staying at hotels, which I do often for my job. So I’m happy there is now a podcast version.
  • Bohemoth77
    Finally
    Only took forever to ad an episode.. is it gunna take another year for the next one?
  • Dude296
    Good Content but you’re listening to a TV show
    I can imagine this is a great show to watch on TV but this is not a good podcast. Lots of references to visuals that are not explained. I chose not to continue with this podcast, but I would if it was done in a podcast format. Pretty sloppy to do a TV show and then try to slamming into a podcast.
  • Foster0099
