Customer Reviews
Actually laughing out loud
My favorite podcast ever! It is so funny, I actually laugh every time I listen to it (and everybody looks at me in a weird way). If you aren’t afraid of making fun of yourself go for it.
Otherwise, choose to listen to it at home and it’s also fine ;)
Thanks so much for this podcast and PLEASE continue!
A Swiss listener
