  • Always a joy

    Figured I’d add a review on as I’ve been here since the beginning and I’m just now realizing that there isn’t a lot of reviews. I appreciate the variety of episodes and love the different tangents. It’s always a good laugh while also being informative. It really is a kaleidoscope of a podcast where you never know what you’ll get next!

  • I tried…

    I’ve tried listening to a few episodes now, and the CONSTANT nervous laughter of the host throughout the entire episode makes it difficult to listen to. I know people can’t control a tick, but the episodes would be a third shorter if this was edited out…
