  • Thank you

    I just wanted to thank you for coming back. This is my favorite podcast. I have a question. Will y’all consider covering the DC Finest collections? Y’all already basically did the first volume on your old podcast.

  • I’m So Late to the Party…

    I’d originally left this review under the relatively inactive ‘Who’s Who’ feed, but seeing as how the same great personalities are still heavily involved elsewhere, I wanted to re-issue the review to the whole network (and the sentiments truthfully go to Shag, Rob, and all their cohosts/contributors)—- see below:

  • Makes the listener want to join in!

    Just finished listening to the Ted Lasso episode and it was fantastic. Listening to the three share their thoughts and adoration for the show and characters made me not only want to watch the the AppleTV show all over again, but had me wishing I was right there in the room with them, joining in the conversation. That’s the highest compliment I can give!

    This is a great group of podcasts. It wasn’t until recently though that it really clicked with me just what it was that I loved about coming back time & time again. I ALWAYS have a smile on my face while listening. Always. Doesn’t matter how I felt when I pressed play, when the sho... more
