Customer Reviews
I love this so much
Strangerville is like a combination of David Sedaris and This American Life. But it’s local, and I can totally relate to a lot of these experiences. I’m happy that there are so many episodes to binge and lose myself in. Thank you Eli and Meg!
A great listen!
I have listened to this podcast for a few years and it’s always good to turn it on and pretend I am actually friends with Eli and Meg haha I forget that they don’t know me😂 You guys are hilarious, intelligent, and I love hearing about your lives. I also love the idea of telling stories it’s entertaining. I have died laughing and even cried at some of these stories! Thanks for the awesome podcast!
Not Really Strangers
I have been listening to this podcast and reading Eli’s blog for years. Other than the great content and banter, Meg and Eli just seem like genuinely good people and I feel like I’ve known them for years. Only constructive feedback I have is that we are all still waiting on Skylar’s cameo!
