  • Came for 90 Day, Staying for Little Johnstons

    I’ve been listening to the pod for a long time, it’s in my regular rotation. Already really like the pod.

    My life has been changed with the coverage of this mess. Just when I needed a new trash show to have on while working, you all swept in and helped a friend out. I’ve binged & caught up with the show. Thank you for finding new trash!!
