  • New York/Service Life Nostalgia

    This podcast has the great quality of capturing genuine “New York-ness” in the way that How to with John Wilson does. If you’ve spent significant time in the city, you’ll get what I’m talking about. The same goes for the service stories - takes me right back to my time tending bar and wanting to throttle people. Good times!

  • A very decent use of time

    What can I say? For the last four(five?) years, this podcast has been one of the bright spots of my week. I’m not working in the industry anymore, and it’s still hilarious and entertaining to me.

    Jak told me to listen to this episode because I posted the article in a chat room.

    You told me to review the episode, after making jokes about it being somebodies first time listening.

    That’s me! It’s my first time listening!
