  • A perfect addition to your daily podcast binging

    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!

  • Always looking forward to the next listen!

    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!
