  • This Is The Thing

    A random search on Tammy Faye Bakker a few years back turned into a weekly facet of my life that I get to enjoy every week. Ray and Rob are equal parts engaging, entertaining and educational and I find myself chatting along with them as I listen.

    Absolutely love when I see a new episode pop into my feed! Followed Rob here from behind the curtain, and have fallen in love with Ray sense finding him on the shower. Can’t wait to see what the future holds and what things you guys will cover next!

  • Perfect Balance of Hilarious & Interesting!

    "This Was a Thing" is entertainment at its finest. Equal parts hilarious and interesting, the hosts' effortless chemistry makes each episode an absolute delight. Even for the topics I thought I would end up skipping, they managed to pull me in with their well-researched information and humorous commentary. I quickly went from a curious downloader to a dedicated fan who actively looks forward to the next chance I'll have to listen to a new episode.
