  • Give me more of this feast!

    Your podcast fills me with the feels. The funny feels and anxiety feels, especially when I’m not sure where the interview is going. I’m ashamed to say, I am a Wonky, but enjoy spending time with Honkys. Keep doing the stuff you do and digging deep to help us all grow.

  • Great interviews

    I like Mike’s humor and enjoy his interviews and guests selection. The one thing that could be improved is the audio. I’m two episodes I played (David Sedaris and Bill Hader), the guest audio was not always clear.

    I am probably a Wonky but trying to get to Zonky.
