- It’s fun! And the stories are good!
I have road rage and in an attempt to have better mornings I thought I’d investigate some podcasts. This one is by far my fave so far. The stories are sometimes really funny or sad, but usually very unhinged. lol! I love it and am so happy there are so many episodes! My commute is about an hour and thats usually 2 stories and they move fast. It’s just like how my bestie and I tell each other stories. Fun, light, they don’t get dragged down in the details and a little bit, I think I might be lear... more

United Statesa year ago - Just lost a listener
I am so tired of these podcasters making their show political, while it’s their right to do, it’s also my right not to listen to the podcast anymore.
Apple Podcasts1MomSearlsUnited Statesa year ago - Calm Learning
I’ve been listening for about a month or so and have really enjoyed the podcasts! I’ve been listening on my drives or as background entertainment while painting or something and find myself taking something from each episode. I saw a couple of reviews commenting about the banter but I happen to enjoy it-at times it provides another layer of emotional intelligence that you can’t just find in text. Keep up the great work!
Apple Podcasts5MegMcQ5United Statesa year ago - Interesting stories. Lots of chatter
I tried to listen even on increased speed but couldn’t do it. I wish there was less back and forth after every single sentence telling the story. Just get through some of it before pausing for a comment after each point. I want to hear the history!!
