Review

Aaron Mahnke is an exemplary storyteller. I can look back fondly on how many times Lore saved me from a boring night at work. So, when I found out he was developing a new show with HowStuffWorks, I was excited. My only complaint would have to be the length of the episodes. They usually run between 7 to 11 minutes long, which is nice. But with almost a third of the episode taken up by ads that are placed right in the middle it’s a chore to have to skip over them. Other than that I love the structure of the show. Every episode is a delightful surprise with a little plot twist that occasionally makes me laugh. It’s the perfect blend of history and weird and it’s alway fun to learn a new interesting fact. 

Aaron Mahnke’s Cabinet of Curiosities releases two new episodes every week wherever you get your podcasts.
