This is one of the few non true crime podcasts that I follow. I love the banter. I feel the urge to jump into the conversation as I listen ( wait that won’t work ). Variety of topics made very approachable . This week I wanted to say ‘see Godzilla minus one ‘ as they did did the best movies of 2023 …
Funny and insightful. Podcast offers great health and wellness info spiced up with laughter.
I love listening to Doctor vs Comedian. Their conversations are always entertaining and I love learning about different medical topics from a very reliable source.
I enjoy the Canadian perspectives. Thanks.
