  • Awesome Pod!

    As a fellow member of the Chicago service industry, I can’t say enough good things about The Joiner’s Podcast. It’s awesome to hear the stories of the colorful people in our world and to make a little game out of spotting them in real life, shaking their hands, and saying, “Loved you on the Joiner’s pod!” It’s also been such a great way to discover some of Chicago’s hidden gems - though my wallet wishes I’d stop going to Shaw’s so often. Love the pod, keep it going!
