  • Pro, polished, and pleasant

    I rarely get more than two minutes into trying a new podcast before I give up and go back to one of the couple dozen familiar voices I’ve followed for years. But the first time I heard Jolie and Ernest’s excitement and banter, I was hooked. Can’t wait to dive into the back catalog, and to hear their take on a few particular emotional scenes in Rebirth chapter 13!
