  • Good variety of topics

    The podcast and the subjects are interesting, but the valley girl accents both use can be distracting!

  • The VoLuMe

    I recently found this show and love it! It’s a unique concept full of history and the characters involved. The only thing is the sound. I listened to the River Phoenix episode and I almost couldn’t make it through. I listen in the car while driving to work. They were moments I had the volume turned to 25 in the car and still couldn’t hear and it would get so loud that it scared me. 😂 I know zero about recording podcasts, but that would be something I’d like to see improved. Keep up the stories!... more
