Nathan is hilarious, sharp, and such a delight to listen to. If you want something smart, funny, and addictive, hit play!
Nathan’s witty and hilarious remarks, references, and sarcasm are the cherries on the cake of this podcast. I loved listening to his takes on popularized bad books and revisiting cringe storylines like the Twilight Saga, and the Divergent Trilogy. You must give him a listen!
Solo radio is hard to do correctly, but Nathan nails it.
I love Nathan! He does an amazing job and I have been crying laughing listening to his hilarious take on these bad books! Highly recommended!!
I spend time traveling for work and Nathan’s podcast makes me laugh out loud. This is often followed by strange looks from fellow passengers on United Airlines, but I digress. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves life in general (the Patreon feed is well worth it). Thanks Nathan for the awesome content!
