Apple Podcasts5Nick VezUnited States2 years ago - A Review of "The Kongversation: Donkey Kong Universe Discussionm
I had often found what I had believed to had been certain parts of what I had believed to had been certain recordings of this "The Kongversation: Donkey Kong Universe Discussionm" to had been vulgar (or profane), unnecessary, unprofessional, negative, disgusting, and detrimental.
Apple Podcasts2(Mario500)United States3 years ago - Is mostly good.
It is really cool listening to truly passionate DK universe fans talk about Donkey Kong. The host does like to insert his stupid political opinions and anti anything other than DK opinions into the podcasts which is annoying. If you can just disregard his braindead opinions it is really great to listen to if you also love the DK universe.
