Fun for fans of Frakes!

My spouse and I are both big fans of Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, and love to listen to this podcast as a companion to BBFF binging. It adds a ton of mileage and enjoyment to each episode of the show, and we can listen to them while on trips, doing chores, or whatever. The host and guest hosts are hilarious in their dissection of each episode, and I hope to hear more soon!

Moooook ,

Good stuff dude

The fact checking episodes are a really interesting addition, as anyone who has watched BBFF knows that their concept of truth is really loose. I learned something!

LOOOOL

You don't even have to watch the show because of the recaps they do.
