Customer Reviews
Sam is Bae
I followed Sam here from NPR and will follow him anywhere. Not only does he have a glorious voice, what he chooses to say is spot on, and his lovely personality shines through. I’m glad to be introduced to all of the co-hosts who are equally as lovely and fun. Every time something happens “in real life”, I can’t wait to hear their take on it.
The Charmed Ones of Padcast
I have been a Sam Sanders listener since NPR. He is totally awesome, what I didn’t know is Saeed and Zack. These threesome are preaching arts, culture and social issues in a very charming, funny and yet serious way. Everyone should check in with vibe check.
Cant recommend enough!
I feel so lucky that I get to listen to 3 thoughtful, intelligent, funny, ridiculous friends. They constantly make me reevaluate and reframe how I live my life and see the world and I deeply enjoy listening every week!!
And a bonus is the new poems I get exposed to every week! 10/10
