Absolutely lovely podcast. Love the hosts & they adore The Simpsons just as much as I did growing up. They also have perfect throwback radio voices that really fit in with the residents of Springfield. Great audio clips as well. Can’t rave enough!

Canada3 months ago A great show, I'm slowly listening through the podcast from the start. (I wrote this whilst up to the Treehouse of Horror IV episode.) I've even gone back for the Patreon only first season.
