  • 5 or 0 ⭐️ ?

    Podcasts i still listen to after a try out period of 5 episodes get 5 ⭐️. Because why should i listen to pods i don’t think are awsome? Pods i don’t keep listening to get no rewiews by me . A pod i don’t like might be loved by someone else . So why should a bad review from me maybe scare away some who might love it . This pod is one who gets its 5 well earned ⭐️. Hasse.

  • Funny and intriguing

    This is one of my top three podcasts I listen too, discovered it about a month ago and cannot stop listening! They turn usually dark topics, into comedy, while still slightly creeping you out. It’s the perfect balance!

  • Funny yet informative

    I don’t know why previous reviewers were expecting academic level research from the podcast but if you are looking for informative comedy, you’ve come to the right place! I enjoy Sara and Emily’s banter and they have a well curated list of subjects covered.

  • Unpleasant in Multiple Dimensions

    This podcast feels like eavesdropping on a conversation between friends, complete with mouth noises, “we’ll edit that out”, and lazy, off the cuff research. The hosts think they’re verrrrrry funny despite every low hanging fruit joke ringing hollow.
