Absolutely funny and entertaining podcast

I’ve started listening 3 months ago and I already listened all the episode.
It’s a super funny podcast, such a good companion. But also a place with really good books recommendation and trending topics.
Sometimes pretty interesting interviews.
I highly recommend.
