  • Very crazy stories!!

    I like this podcast, Steph is a great story teller. Sometimes it can be repetitive (like you’re trying to extend the word count on your high school essay). And Alex’s questions are not helpful to the story. I usually just skip when he’s interrupting.

    I love your humor and repartée.
