Dirt nap city is one of those rare podcasts that leaves you feeling both entertained and informed. Kelly and Alex have a great back and forth and I listen to every episode!
Really enjoyed the 100th episode. Sounds cheesy, but a fun trip down memory lane. Completely forgot about some of the earlier shows and will be going back through.
Learning from these two fellas about folks who have taken a dirt nap has been interesting and informative. And the Dead Ends episodes are fun! I put Dirt Nap City at the top of my podcasts queue while punting all others to the bottom — just like “Kris from Austin” would do.
These guys are funny and do a great job of telling who the famous dead person is! Great host chemistry, fun story delivery and always entertaining. Keep it up Kelly and Alex!
