I’ve been following the show for a few years, since about the beginning I’d say, & it’s just brilliant. Big fan & love how it’s all presented. Massive congrats to the team who makes it all happen, you’re awesome!
I love the show. Big fan of it, but needs some new episodes. Tired of seeing compilations of old ones.
The content is great. The voice that accompanies the narration is not. Couldn’t make it through one episode.
AJ and Heckle Fish should be made a national treasure. Thanks to Shawn Ryan I found out they have a podcast from the videos. My soul is a lot lighter by listening and not the political podcast. Keep up the good work and don’t stop. I await the new podcast to start.
God bless you
I have listened to WF for a long time no, and I LOVE IT. Hecklefish is hilarious, and he and AJ make an amazing duo. The only thing I don’t like is some conspiracies that are a BIT far. But normally, this is an AMAZING podcast, keep up the good work!
