Customer Reviews
WWDTM
Excellent show. Funny, smart, entertaining, informative- so so so good!
Makes my day
Always a highlight of the week. Still figuring out what Karen Chee has brought to the party with her appearances though, the comedy input there is pretty much zero. It’s noticeable that no matter the other two guest panelists, they carry maybe 3/4 of the contributions while she chuckles and eventually comes up with something insipid.
Makes me happy
I love listening to this weekly it always makes me happy at the end of a tough week.
