  • Fwends Fworevwer

    Okay, the “I Exploded My Life in My Bedroom” (also a killer song title) mailbag ep might be a new all-time favourite. Georgia’s morning clag?! 😂

    Always 5 stars. Even with its chipmunks (that one episode still very much active in the feed) and its pure chaos. Truly the best of the best.

  • Fwends recommend Fwends

    A brilliant savory snack of chaos and giggles hosted by three Fwends I now think of as my real Fwends. It’s like the personal shower thoughts became a full blown open conversation. Easily my most anticipated podcast drop.
