  • A Pure Delight

    When someone at a bar in LA tells you to check out their podcast, a degree of skepticism is understandable. But when GFY co-creator Jim Newman (a great trivia host in his own right) suggests a podcast, you listen! 6 years later, I’m still listening and enjoying every episode. J. Keith and Helen are a perfect team, and hearing from guests about “why they love what they love”—across such unique & personal topics—just puts a huge smile on my face. Keep up the great work!
