Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 40 ratings
  • Boring

    At first there was some effort put into this. Guests and a set and things on display…

    Now its just mainly Kevin alone in his basement, talking to himself for 20 minutes. Riveting.

    If he had any charisma it wouldn‘t be so bad, but as it is, it‘s awfully boring.

  • Awesome concept

    As a kid of the 80’s talking about toys like this is something missing in the genre of podcasts for sure. Great job screenwave!
