It’s okay

For some reason, I think I hear a dog whining in some these episodes, which can be annoying. I’m not sure if it’s sound effect or an actual dog. The podcast is okay. For some reason, they seem they’re trying to hard to be funny. The swearing seems a bit forced. I listen to lots of podcast that have swearing, but it’s minimal and doesn’t feel forced. Listen to it and form your own opinions. The show can be better.

Not for me...

A noir podcast where three people giggle constantly is pretty brutal.
I’ll try the other one folks recommended who take the subject matter seriously.

You Women Rock!

Noir is my favorite movie genre and I've been looking for a good podcast about it for a while and glad this one is always consistently good! Great for noir experts and beginners. Keep it up!
