  • What a joy this podcast series is…..

    This podcast series is one of the best i know. I am a Goons lover from Holland and for many years i like to get into the world of Goon humor and listen to old shows.

    Our host Tyler does a brilliant job with analyzing this unique humor and invites very interesting people who are into the Goons.

    For me it s always a joy to know that ... more
