Customer Reviews
Matcha!
Matcha espresso latte hot or cold is fab! You can request in starbucks or any coffee shop that serves matcha latte - it’s usually not in their written menu 🍵
Great content messed up with incompatible adverts
I love the “Stuff you should know” content. I have been listening for 10 Years. Friendly, respectful, the commentators bounce off each other. The challenge recently is the insertion of noisy, out of context adverts for other podcasts. They scream at you.
Easy listening
Josh and Chuck have the most charismatic voices and have such a great and natural chemistry with each other that it’s hard to find a more magnetic podcast~!
