Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 18 ratings
  • Don’t know how I wound up here,

    but this panel and this podcast are absolutely fun and informative to listen to. The stray curse words thrown around to urge a specific point on the stupidity or ridiculousness that we find ourselves in, is perfectly refreshing to the average, existentially anguished listener.

  • Another Regressive Podcast
