  • We Love Libraries

    I’ve lived in 7 cities across the country in the past 5 years. The first thing I always made sure to do after a move is get a new library card.

    Libraries are the soul of a community. Thank you for supporting them

  • Awesome podcast - funny, informative and reassuring

    Phil rage baiting Alex is extremely funny. They are so well informed and Alex crashing out is so reassuring. He often yells about the things I get deflated by which is surprisingly motivating to not fall into the dark pit politics can create. The dad-yap-section is great too. Amazing insights from 1 new dad and a more seasoned one.

  • Cathartic anxiety

    There’s nothing better than getting on a sketchy overnight sleeper bus while travelling through Vietnam for 3 weeks and listening to Phil and Alex crash out as the world descends into armageddon. Love you guys. You’re the best. Come to London, England for a live show!
