Luke had a woman and man cohost back then. I can’t remember their names but they were awesome. Man I loved that show. But about a month ago I just randomly thought, hey I wonder what ever happened to Luke Burbank. I searched him on

  • We grew apart..

    Listened to the show for 15 years and it has brought me many moments of joy and sometimes frustration, which is okay in any relationship, imagined or real. Not sure what happened lately, it was probably just me and I got tired of the same discussion in a world of so many amazing podcasts and creative content. There is just so many hours in a day..

    Good luck guys, all the best.
