(Un)Surprisingly Nice

Having followed Travis on MBMBaM and twitter for some time, how nice this podcast is was unsurprising, as Travis is one of the nicest men I've ever come across. Before this podcast I hadn't heard of Hal, but I found him as nice to listen to as Travis. What was surprising to me was how relaxing it can be to listen to a chat between 3 people I've never met can be when the topics of conversation are very, well, nice.
Taking some time out to just listen to this podcast has been so therapeutic for me, and I'm now making more of an effort to talk about nice topics, rather than focusing heavily on the negatives around us.
The guests so far have all been amazing and I expect they will continue to be, and I love the addition of an option to donate to charity for the extended episode.
Thanks for the podcast, guys, you have a dedicated listener in me!

Brilliant podcast!

As a loyal Mcelroy listener, although I wasn't 100% this would be my thing I figured I'd give it a go anyway. IM SO GLAD I DID. This podcast is charming, funny, and delightful. Would recommend to all.
