  • Wits that don’t quit

    In my opinion, The Rebound has the three fastest wittiest hosts in the podcasting world. The off the cuff jokes are the gifts that keep on giving even when they don’t stick the landing and… rebound.

Q: What tech or thing have you bought that you know you shouldn't have because it was too expensive or you just didn't need it?

Q: What do you use to organize meetups or community groups?
One host jokingly states he doesn't like people, while another mentions using Strawpoll for scheduling. E-vites are also brought up as a standard for organizing get-togethers.
