  • Insightful and interesting

    I have been listening to carrying wayward since season four, and it’s the perfect thing to listen to on walks, long drives, or doing chores. I appreciate the insights into the characters I love so much by Drew and Mary—I can tell they are true fans and want to give every aspect of this show consideration. I especially enjoy the attention they give to guest stars and recurring characters and don’t just focus on the main guys. There’s so much to love about carrying wayward.

    This podcast is a must ... more

  • Got me back on the road

    I avoided anything to do with supernatural after the finale, cause it was so painful but when I discovered this podcast it gave me a chance to get back to it and separate the characters from the creators and the ability to be critical but obsessed as well. I love you guys so much.
