  • I like it, even when I don’t understand it

    This is a true statement, but is motivated by my desire to not be review-shamed by Tripp the next time we drink beer together.

  • This show started off well..

    We have been listening to this podcast for about 4 yrs and it has gone from a fairly diverse group providing input and insight to a mainly male group of voices who do not always represent a wider world view. It has gone from interesting to just mantastic. We are done listening. :p
