  • Buccees NO!

    It’s a good podcast!

    I get the mention of buccee’s, but the love poured out is unwarranted. It doesn’t live up to the hype, just one visit for me. But their announced politics, (such that they would never build in LA or the SF Bay Area’s of California.) and their predatory defense of the “beaver” reinforce my meh view of them.

    Between Iowa and Wyoming are some unique comps.

  • Jo and Ron chemistry

    I’ve listened to prestige for a while but with Jo and Rob it’s entered another level. The banter is just top notch. I’m at the point now where I’ll just watch the shows they cover, even if I’m not that into the show, so I can listen to them.

  • I really look forward to these podcasts!

    Joann and Rob are so fun to listen to. I like all of the hosts on here, but I set aside any time I have to watch a tv show so that I can specifically watch shows that they cover. The combination of their humor, chemistry as hosts, Joann’s English major knowledge and their combined knowledge of plot, character development and television viewership/history, is the perfect hang and a momentary escape when the world is heavy and you need an hour away from this 🤬 timeline. ❤️

  • Lioness

    I’m guessing Lioness isn’t your speed, but I’ve heard CR talk about it. Would be great if you had him on to pod on it. I’m addicted to it, but nobody’s podding about it.
