Customer Reviews
Wonderful
These guys are great!
I love the way they approach analysing media—it’s always to a surprising depth, and almost always positive, even when discussing things they feel could have been better.
About time I left a review
Look, I've been listening to this podcast for a long time. It's been very consistently good, and it has even inspired me with a number of ways to more critically evaluate media. So, why the hell haven't I left a review before? Because I'm lazy. I think this is the first podcast I've actually left a review for. Don't let that be a reflection on The Doofcast, because it isn't, it's a reflection on me.
These guys are great, they do incredible work, have a wonderful community, and are consistently entertaining and educational. Give it a listen, and if you like it, don't be like me. Leave them a good review.
