PEE PEE POO POO is finally LIVE!
Yes, that’s really what it’s called. What is it, some of you ask? It’s the most childish-sounding adult party card game you’ll ever fall in love with. Imagine an oddly strategic game of Poker meets Go Fish, but with ... more

- One of my favorite podcasts
The subject matter is fascinating and the narrator has found a way to add a bit of humor to counter the awful stuff without being disrespectful. I’m one of those people who hates banter where two or more narrators constantly go off on a tangent to chit chat about stupid stuff. This is NOT the case here. It’s only one narrator and he sticks to the subject matter. Every episode I’ve listened to so far has been riveting. Keep up the great work!

While the stories are interesting, the narrator does have an embarrassingly glib attitude when telling them. Very American style and embarrassing, though again, the stories are interesting.

I like the show well enough so far but you have demonstrated a severe lack of understanding as to the operations of Galaxy class starships; disrespectful Sir ;)
Apple Podcasts3The JanewayUnited States3 months ago - 10/10!
This podcast is intelligently funny without being crass and disrespectful. It’s rare to find a podcast of this genre with one host and no banter.

Always enjoy the show, dry humor is on point, educational and “ the core” review was amazing! Maybe sneak a few more terrible disaster movies reviews! Great podcast!
