You come in search of the latest in the world of podcasting. You return because you just have to admit it, you LOVE the hosts! From Jordan cracking up laughing, Albin teaching us about wool socks, and Kevin keeping everyone in check with his rants and mellow-vibe. Feel like this is an old school talk show from the 90s that you loved to watch when faking being sick so you could stay home! It's about so much more than just keeping podcasting! - Kevin Lowe
Love the hosts!
