  • Absolute wasted opportunity

    I listened to the one with the actor who played Raphael in the Turtles movie. Such a small part of the episode was talking about the film and his experiences. That’s why people tuned in. There was also WAY too many ads. I feel like I spent more time listening to ads than the actual show.

  • A Great Hang

    Love the concept for this podcast and the execution is perfect. Much more fun than hearing the same old stories from the stars, and the whole vibe is both funny and soothing. Also the host does his homework without showing off about it. It’s a great hang, which is just what I needed right now.
