  • Good, but too chatty

    Love the information but could do with a lot less of the personal chitchat.

  • Love the format

    I really enjoy the banter between Eric and Tom, and at an age where you see so many complain about everything, … keep eating food near the mics, go off topic, make it personal, segway to something else. The dynamic is what makes the show special and now that it drops Saturday I enjoy it on my Monday AM travels. Thank you!

  • My Favorite Listen

    I genuinely look forward to every new episode! A great listen for Park super fans with unfiltered, refreshing opinions. Tom and Eric feel like long-time friends of mine at this point, and I hope the podcast continues for a long, long time. It’s a weekly highlight for sure!

  • Please

    This show used to be good but now they’ve made a whole segment out of eating on mic. Why? No one wants to hear you eat. It’s worse for me with misophonia.
