Peanut Butter Photoshop!

👖 That time you didn’t wear pants to your work zoom meeting. You’re the only one that knows and it makes you feel like you are finally in control. ✏️ This is how I feel when I listen to Jake & Jonathon! They actually make me laugh out loud. These gents have been a great support throughout the crisis. Thought provoking product talk.

Top notch product banter

The one product podcast that fills me with the most joy. These guys are talented enough to pull off create podcasts with sometime minimal planning. Entertaining and unashamedly forthright. Recommended, especially like me for an hour's walk in the forest with a dog!

Funny and Informative

Most podcasts struggle to find the balance between humour and insight, but these guys do it naturally and always keep me listening to the end. Keep up the great work!
