Johnathan and Tanya are the hosts. Daniel is the magician behind the scenes pulling it all together. Good
Topics good people.
If we lived in a sane and reasonable society Johnathan Holmes would already be famous, but in hopes of healing the earth I shall write this review and encourage all comers to listen to his excellence
I’m a longtime Jonathan Holmes fan and yeah — he’s excellent. Of course he is. But I feel like Tanya is the secret sauce of this show. Not only do the two of them have fantastic chemistry, but she’s just casually one of the funniest people on the planet. And I love that neither of them are afraid to experiment with the structure of the show. TTWAV is one of my favorites!
Calls suicide a selfish act most recently. I dunno it’s generally a good podcast but sometimes he says some pretty upsetting things.
Very fun and compassionate.
