Props to them for trying, I guess... more

  • Huge Podcast Fan

    HELLO! I’m a huge BDIB fan!

    I found this show while reviewing another podcast that’s concept is based on listening to one episode of a podcast to review it.

    Both concepts are neat.

  • Genius concept!!

    I reviewed this show on my podcast “Just One Listen” and absolutely love the concept! I was hooked off of the description of this podcast (hoping the dating advice eventually helps out your single friend). They’re truly having fun, they clearly put love and thought into each and every episode with their games, commentary and listener inclusion! Thanks for a great show guys, subscribed!!
