2nd best podcast ever!

I love this podcast because it has adventure action and teaches us a life lesson in the loveliest, funniest, and most eye catching way. This podcast teaches kids important lessons. They tell the lesson in a story that kids are interested in. I do prefer Greeking Out though. This podcast makes me a better person.

over all it is a ,
