  • One of the best PODs

    It’s never boring only a little annoying. It’s Penn’s Sunday School. I almost always get a few chuckles out of this show. Usually don’t get any useful info. I did stop listening for a while when it was Trump all the time. I’m glad that’s over. Hopefully it doesn’t come back regardless. Spread the love. Oh it adds enjoyment if you picture Penn naked while listening.

  • Always interesting

    When I saw this Podcast and read the description I wondered how interesting it would be to listen to Penn and another fellow I’ve never heard of just talk about things. It turns out that is very interesting. It amazes me that week after week I always find this podcast entertaining and thought provoking. In my library of regularly listened to podcasts this is right up there at the top.
