Customer Reviews
Perfect Live Show
The concept, the host, the music all add up to a fantastic podcast. Even when there are duds that come on stage, those 3 factors lead to an incredibly satisfying episode.
Neat idea.
I love listening to people's questions and answers and try to think what I would say.
Love it!
This podcast is fantastic! Jody is awesome at getting the most out of the questions that people ask. My favorite part though are the absolutely amazing songs that Eli creates on the fly! They make me laugh every time!
I totally want to make a show if I find myself in NYC!
