  • Kat and Jethro’s amazing chemistry and relationship is hands down the best. They can give each other crap and not take it to heart. Absolutely love it. Their stories always have me sitting on the edge of my seat, so to speak, although I’m always taking a walk while listening. It’s my little vacation from life when I am listening to them. I have so many relatable stories that I want to share someday. Lots of boo effects as well. Love them both and thank you for being there for me and many other p... more

  • Thanks for all the years of oddities

    Have listened for many years. So glad I found this podcast. That being said, the ads are a bit distracting and make it hard to sleep to, which was my favorite. However, after reading all the ‘woke’ comments in the reviews, I definitely have to make sure you get 5 stars. 😊 Never change!
