- Fun and (fan)tastic
This is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. I have learned so much about the careers that they have had. My favorites are the one with guests that they talk to. The episode with Bruce Campbell deserves an award. I hope they have guests from Resident Alien soon. They have had guests from Firefly were also worth listening to.

United States6 days ago Nathan & Alan make me laugh out loud multiple times per episode, if I'm ever in a crappy mood, all I have to do is turn this podcast on, and inevitably I feel better within minutes. I love hearing all of Alan's wild stories of when he was a young trouble maker, and learning about all of the things that make Nathan twitch in irritation. The guests are all super interesting, and I loved meeting Louis Jenson finally! It's just a great time all around, I get to feel like we're all just hangin' out!
Podcast Addict57 days agoBersquerker- Laugh Out Loud
Be warned, if you listen to this podcast in public, you will scare people when you suddenly cackle out loud like a crazy person. This podcast makes my stomach hurt…from laughing, not from bad things.
Apple Podcasts5YelowsubUnited States8 days ago - Yay! + jewel!
I don’t know how I missed this podcast starting, since I’m both a Castle AND Rookie fan, but I found it because I was looking up Jewel!
Who I actually know from “Ready or Not” and had no idea she had a new show! It’s amazing!!
Love this podcast, they are so great together and hilarious!
Apple Podcasts5JenipherlynUnited States11 days ago - Once I Was A Fan
AND I STILL AM! Even more so after getting to know them better through the podcast. With everything going on in the U.S. I find it hard to laugh and enjoy myself as much as I used to. Nathan and Alan keep me entertained and often laughing to tears, especially poor Alan’s stories of horrible but funny stuff that he’s gone through, cos OMG!
