Customer Reviews
Ur the best
I listen to this podcast every day and it is great. I think everyone should listen to it
It’s all about the banter
This is one of the first podcasts I ever listened to – road tripping around Tasmania in 2014. Josh and Chuck are like old friends now. It doesn’t matter that they’re not experts in whatever topic they’re discussing, it’s all about the banter (and sometimes you learn stuff).
Get on with it!
