  • such a good idea...wasted

    Audio quality is ABSOLUTELY terrible!! They could've used 2 tin cans and a string and the audio quality would be better than this! Such a really great idea wasted on 2 guys laughing at their own inside jokes. COntent is zero stars. Give this idea to a professional. You are out of your depths. Please stop.

  • Brilliant idea, but bad delivery.

    I downloaded a bunch of these, getting excited about the concept - but after trying four separate shows, I just can’t listen to any more.

  • Interesting concept

    This pod takes first impressions and bumps it up a notch. They watch the first episode of TV shows you may or may not know to have a laugh and spare you from watching it yourself.

  • Audio quality

    It’s like they don’t even try with the production quality. The audio makes this unlistenable.
