  • It’s A Lifestyle Podcast

    I really enjoy the dynamic of the three hosts. I think their roles are well defined, and everyone is in on the bit, except Felder sometimes, he’s certainly not the main character! But the thing that motivated me to right this review is the “Michigan State Update” this is podcasting of the highest quality, we need merch! If you are a rad dad or miss chopping it up with the guys, this show is perfect. #FIFT #LetsGrow

  • fascinating look at human psychology

    One time at work I was having what I considered and incredibly fun conversation/debate about the academie francais and attempts to standardize language and how our ideas of "grammatically correct" english inherently privilege white middle class americans.

  • It’s Not Michigan’s Fault

    With the arrival of the offseason and the recommendation of Holly Anderson, I’ve made the choice to put HITD in my rotation. While driving home from watching the Indiana championship celebration with my mother, alive with the joy of an unfathomable achievement, I listened to the latest episode which hit its apex with Felder’s exploration of his deep-sown dislike of Michigan thanks to a traumatic barbecue experience at the hands of his wife’s relations. As a Hoosier exile who’s been in Northern M... more

  • This…is…my… … …review

    I gave this a podcast a shot because I enjoy Shutdown Fullcast, but I had to bail before I lost the ability to think in complete sentences. It’s dads talking about smoke detectors and what their kid wore to school at the slowest cadence imaginable. I’m all for the girl dad content, but there’s so much dead air it’s unlistenable.
