They haven’t been associated for awhile, the company owning HowStuffWorks spun off the podcasting division in 2017 before selling it to iHeartMedia in 2018 https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/iheartmedia-stuff-media-howstuffworks-podcast-acquisition-1202939938/

I quit SYSK when iheart bought it, creating a vertical monopoly... And turning SYSK into a purely capital enterprise. Josh and Chuck rule. Wish they would do more of their own work off of the iheart platform.

Hm, I guess I haven't paid attention to the ownership, I just skip past the ads to the content.

They will always be worth listening to.
