  • Came for the content, stayed for the banter

    Erica & Jonathon drove deep into my all time favorite bluegrass tale then kept me laughing with their sibling banter. Every episode is filled with details, laughs, events, just all the things you wanna hear about. Keep these episodes coming your two because I look forward to them!

  • Must listen for Lexingtonians!

    Such an interesting listen, I’ve learned so much about Lexington’s history and true crime past! This is a small scale production, but the show has definitely developed over the years and is really impressive. I like how every episode is a little different and how current & lifestyle topics are included as well. Looking forward to season 3!
