Customer Reviews
Brilliant
I have come very late to this podcast but I can honestly say it is one of the best I have ever listened to. Hilarious, the story could not be more out there.. just crazy brilliant material presented so well. I was laughing the whole way through.
Better late than never
I got onto this pod late 2021 after hearing Alexi on another pod and I’m so glad I did, it is absolutely brilliant and funny AF.
I’m hooked!
Alexi and Cam have a unique and effective investigative style. Their ability to connect emotionally and relate with their guests and subjects evokes genuine responses and interesting sub-stories. They’re like a Louis Theroux duo, with a good cop-bad cop dynamic, keeping each other grounded while the other is drawn into the fanatical story.
Whilst their passion is pop culture, I’d love to see their work branch out into other investigation work. Either way, can’t wait to enjoy their future work. Well done fellas.
