Customer Reviews
A very impressive podcast.
Shia LaBeouf is clearly a damaged person and has done damage to people, but there is something admirable about someone who owns up to their mistakes and wants to improve as a person. It felt genuine and I hope he finds peace. The conversation with Sarah Wayne Callies is also another great episode, as is the one with Kurt Angle.
Jon Bernthal has totally found his groove as a podcaster. This is a very impressive podcast that is definitely worth sticking with.
The Punisher is now doing pod cast 😆.. Keep this going Jon.. these are really good. 😉
I discovered Jon Bernthal was doing these on his Twitter feed, and have been tuning in ever since. I particularly like the one about the sports coach.
They are very interesting and some good and interesting points are made.
Worth a listen even if you don’t agree with the views.
And if you a fan of the Jon’s acting.. well hey.. who could not tune in to your favourite actor.. worth it.. listing wise.
That’s my view anyway 😊
so much better than doing school work
i listen to this 24/7, feels like being apart of the conversation and i could listen to jon talk for hours
