Man, they got me through some really hard days and I’m going to miss them so much. I guess I should’ve left a review earlier 😆
Anyway, should’ve seen this coming with Tawny’s acting career really hitting new heights and all the guests coming in instead. (I haven’t listened to the last episode yet - maybe they just solved racism and that’s why it’s endin... more
Apple Podcasts5AshInFactUnited States3 months ago - I am dumb
I must be the dumbest person out there. I am a long time member of the Zeitgang. I have heard Andrew on The Daily Zeitgeist so many times and Tawny on other podcasts. So I finally decided to jump into Yo, is this racist, and wouldn’t you know I end up listening to the final episode of first. I guess I can work through the back catalogue but I do feel like a fool. 5 Stars.
