Such a fun and lighthearted podcast :)

Just started listening after making my way through Wonderful and Sawbones, and as expected Travis and Teresa are just as fantastic! Particularly loved the Animal Crossing episode. And I love the intro music!!

Edit after a few months of listening: just wanted to add that I really enjoy the bio episodes, as well as the history that goes into each episode. Love learning something new every week! Thanks Travis, Teresa, and Alex!

Waste of time

There is very little content on the posted topics. The male acts like an idiot foil to his wife’s sometimes interesting comments giving the podcast an impression of disorganization and minimal research.
