    You guys bring such joy to my life. I have no idea how you get your recaps out so fast- Im sure it’s tough but your listeners appreciate it. As a fellow Canadian living in the US, I find Sharleen so relatable and she has a deeply satisfying laugh. One of the things that keeps me listening is I love the way Andy says things that we’re all thinking but don’t want to say out loud/hope someone else just says it lol. I love listening to you guys- even the traitors recaps though I don’t watch the show... more

  • Love your The Traitors recaps

    Hey guys! I love your recaps! And since I know that what you enjoy watching, I will likely also enjoy, I watch what you recap! ;-) The Traitors was a completely new show for me and I'm now completely hooked!!! Would certainly listen to a recap of another season should you decide to do one. Also watched Love is blind Germany solely based on you doing a recap and LOVED it!!! (Since I'm Austrian I was able to watch in German which was a perk!) Keep up the great work! - Magdalena (discoverants.com) ... more
