  • Greg Warren Fun!

    I love the breadth of topics from Charlie’s podcast guests. It can be anything from Midwest history to ecology to sessions with fellow comedians, and every ep is a banger. I just listened to the episode with Greg Warren and it was pure fun. You guys were both very silly, quick with the quips, and clever. It really helped me get through some chores after I had had houseguests for a week. My houseguests were from Wisconsin, doncha know.
