  • New favourite podcast

    Found Cody Dahler via his Instagram reels and stayed for The Truth In My Opinion - news, but actually funny.

    Sharp takes, zero fluff, and just enough chaos to keep it interesting. Perfect if you want to keep up without feeling like a thicky thicky dumb dumb, with the bonus of getting a good giggle 🀣

    Easy five stars.

    Have to say: I’m not usually someone who likes listening to Podcasts as I find they can be really dull and boring, but Cody somehow manages to not only keep the interest going but also have you rolling around with laughter AND it’s educational and enlightening at the same time! πŸ’œ More, please! πŸ’œ
