  • Good way to find a series to watch ...

    ... especially if you are from Philly. This is not a political podcast and is a refreshing break from the noise.

  • Entertaining AND useful!

    I started listening for Angelo and Rhea as I have been a long time listener of there morning show. I keep listening because rapport between the three of them is great and like their back and forth. I also really like the way they structure the episodes. Equally as important, most weeks I come away with at least one show I want to check out! I started listening recently but have enjoyed it so much I have gone back to the earlier episodes to see what I missed!
