  • BEST Stranger Things podcast hands down!

    I can’t emphasize highly enough how much I love Starcourt Study Hall! Amanda & Marina thoughtfully explore so many aspects of Stranger Things in the most interesting and creative ways. I didn’t think it was possible to appreciate this show more than I already did, but they continue to prove me wrong. I look forward to hearing their new episodes every week — if you love Stranger Things, you owe it to yourself to give this a listen.

  • They Won me over

    My first review of their podcast was overly critical. Since then, this has become my favorite podcast each week. These ladies grow on you like tentacles from the Upside Down. They are funny and clearly prepare extensively for each episode. Looking forward to Season 5 coverage. Keep up the great work!
