Favorite Podcast!

I have been listening to this podcast for more than 5 years now. I have laughed too hard, cried and gone through so many emotions on this podcast. Absolutely love it and Kevin is awesome 😊

Plaitty ,

Could be good but falls short

I want to like this podcast, and I’ve tried. I like stories, but the way the host Kevin speaks is just so grating I couldn’t get into it. If there was a version with just the stories or a host that was easier to listen to, it’d be much better.
