  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I found this podcast after listening to their first interview with Kevin and Jenna on ATWYRM. Since then, I’ve binged all of the episodes and have been a loyal listener every week since catching up. I love the fun banter and the deep dives Andrew and the guests do about the songs, characters, and story of Glee. The show was a cornerstone of my young adult years and I love revisiting it from a new perspective all of these years later.
