United States18 days ago - Delightfully Unhinged and Highly Educational
I’ve been a listener ever since Michael announced it on the DYNAR podcast. I feel like I can never wait until Thursdays to hear these two hash out the latest insanities from the algorithms and the administration. Their chemistry is unmatched, and somehow, they manage to squeeze in thoughtful discussions on legal and social issues in between contagious fits of laughter.
Apple Podcasts5Roughcollie2018United States23 days ago - Delivers current events in fun way but kind of annoying
It’s a fun podcast and I like how it feels like a casual conversation about what’s going on in their lives and current events. My only complaint is the constant “mh-hmmm’ and ‘uh-huh’ Mélissa says while Michael is talking. Every once in a while sure but it’s too much and is distracting. Sometime I just skip the episode if it’s too much. If they could reel that in the podcast would be much better.

Day 1 Listener, and love y’all more and more every week! These are the M&Ms with just enough sweet to balance the salty when talking about the craziness of Life in this present moment.
Apple Podcasts5katharinkatUnited Statesa month ago - Wintergreen Sucks
Don’t tell my beloved Banana Boys or Karen and Georgia, but I have new podcast besties in town. Don’t change a thing. Also, sorry Michael, there’s a chasm of a difference between peppermint and wintergreen. Melissa is right.
