Stories from dads

2020-08-22

Mudjuice

It's like listening to my dad talk about random stuff! Historical anecdotes mixed with personal stories. I can always count on learning something new. Even if mr. Jennings and mr. Roderick can be a little problematic sometimes (which perhaps is to be expected from two middle aged white straight men), it is never from a place of malice, and their core values are great. It's a real comforting show.
Bra, intressant och rolig!
