  • lacks integrity

    i love history, specifically micro-histories, so when i found this podcast i was genuinely intrigued, and don’t get my wrong i enjoy the actual stories. however the interminable crude jokes are nearly insufferable. not to mention the obvious political posturing and contempt for modern amenities by grown men who’s success is dependent upon said amenities is mortifying.

  • 5 stars except..

    The Past Times doesn’t need guests. Half the time the guests seem like they don’t even want to be there and aren’t funny. I don’t know if that’s because they aren’t sure when to break in and speak or what but it’s often just awkward. It’s crazy how many low level comedians just have nothing clever to say

Frequently Asked Questions About The Dollop
