  • This pod IS muy buey buey!

    I could listen to Jason and Marissa (double S) read the phone book! Their voices are so soothing I sleep with this pod on! I used to sleep with true crime and have nightmares but now I just dream of Will Gardner LOL. I love their Elsbeth takes and I’m so glad they’re covering it!

  • So much fun

    If you’re watching Elsbeth and not listening to Goodpod with Jason and Marisa… you’re missing half the fun.

    Their banter is quick, clever, and genuinely funny—like eavesdropping on two friends who just get the show. They’ll have you laughing one minute and then suddenly noticing deeper details you totally missed the next. It’s light, insightful, and ridiculously entertaining.
