  • Throwing it back

    I’ve been dealing with the flu for the last week ish and have spent this time listening to the backlog of spirits pod. I knew I was starting to feel better when I started throwing it back to the intro music again

  • Fun podcast.

    Kind of like a more flippant, gen Z version of Lore but just as fun. Actually it’s super entertaining and allows me to while away so many boring hours at work. Also one of my go to Podcasts when I’m cooking. And all the above is from a 53 year old white dude. Totally worth a listen.
