I hope this show returns someday. Wits we hardly knew ye!
Yes.
This remains one of my all time favorite podcasts and I hope it returns someday. Seriously, it holds up. LISTEN.
I listen to it over and over. The only thing I can fault you for is not having a podcast every week. I would really like to listen every week. I miss John Moe and his cast of characters, guests, and musicians. WITS is a true gem of a show.
My folks used to stay up late watching similar programs on tv.
Such an eclectic, charming collection of witty humor, great music & compelling banter. Wish I could hire the team back.
Only SuperEgo has made me laugh as much. Legit gem I’ve downloaded on many devices to replay often. Still gets a sly grin every repeat. Thanks for sharing this opus
