  • Sky

    I have enjoyed Ear Hustle since the beginning. (Snap Judgement *might* have been the pod that pointed me to Ear Hustle.) This week’s episode with Sky was probably my favorite episode to date. If there’s any way the folks at Ear Hustle could connect Sky with Button Poetry, I think all parties would be very happy with the outcome. 💖

The dynamic between E and Nige is so endearing, sometimes humorous and they elicit the best of each other. It’s in my top2 of all podcas... more
