    Funny, enlightening and, most importantly, interesting! I don’t know why I only dabbled in this podcast for so long but now I’m 100% in and look forward to every episode. Realistic advice and insights, with Stanger and Erin’s trademark down-to-earth humour make The Dumbbell’s a top tier podcast.
