I love how you are adding in some of the societal issues. I was so glad to hear you include the racism and homophobia behind the hatred of disco. It’s so important to include this, and you do it well while making a comedic podcast.
The topics are really interesting but the constant joking and giggling is really distracting. Want to keep listening but don’t think I can
It is a very good pod but I don’t like how much u guys curse. But other than that it is really good, also u inspired me to make a pod. Cya!
I’m a big fan of history, I love this series - I’ve been binging it over the last couple of weeks and so glad there are still so many more episodes to catch up on!
Love Ian and Liv, they’re so good at this!
I love the content and dark humor. I love the pod even more knowing you guys are from the Cleveland area. I moved down to Charlotte, NC five years ago and I feel a little connected to home every time I listen to you guys. Cleveland is a disaster of its own so I guess it makes sense 🤷♂️
Anyway, thanks for the show!
