  • Love Mr Owens’ perspective on life

    Mr Owen’s’ is very opinionated about food, fashion, politics and a variety of topics. It is a voice that is valued and needed. I enjoy hearing what he has to say about Philadelphia and beyond. Looking forward to what he has to say in 2024.

  • After the fluff it’s great background chatter

    I really like Mr. Owens and this podcast cracks me up for the most part. I listen at work and it’s long enough to get me to lunch and avoid annoying coworker chatter. I do have to say…the first forty minutes or so of every episode is like listening to someone S their own D. It makes me laugh most of the time but sometimes it’s draining. I live in Atlanta but enjoy all the mayoral updates in Philadelphia.
