  • Could be so much more

    I’m a goon(ette) from early 2000’s and was excited to hear this. But it’s just…missing something? A big part of it is that it’s doesn’t seem to even try to be funny.

  • Love this pod, love these guys, love these topics.

    This pod is about something awful forums but more importantly it’s about the vibes of background radiation of history. The host themselves are very funny and thorough with their topics and it’s overall a good hang. Give them a listen.
