This year I finally figured out how to write a review in the actual app. You guys are hysterical. The text men episodes make me laugh so hard. You should bring text men on more often than once a year. Besides text man, I absolutely love your show. Keep doing what you do.

Hi Prof. Ashley & Prof. Jason! Just wanted to write a review as I initially stumbled across GHL via YouTube but decided to migrate over to Apple Podcast to get the full experience. I have loved being able to listen to the GHL episodes on a variety of comic characters to better understand some of their origins and history and to brush up on ones that I am familiar with. These episodes have made the more boring parts of my days go by a lot faster and I love both of your guys’ dynamic while you div... more

Majority of episodes recently are just reuploads first podcast I ever started listening to and I can’t say I’ve been excited for an episode for a good few years
I love this podcast. As a broke high schooler, I don’t have the money to buy my own comics and learn about these myself, I love this podcast and can’t wait for more! (Still waiting for a Wiccan episode)
