  • Great analysis and hilarious hosts

    I love this show and it’s my favorite of the SVU-related podcasts — it deserves a bigger audience although I selfishly love the in-crowd feel it has. Josh and Adam are very funny and I love their in depth explorations of relevant topics and their off topic diversions. I look forward to each new episode every week! 😊
