Customer Reviews
Relatable
Listening to this podcast makes me feel like I am sitting with two of my best friends. It’s an equal balance of inappropriate jokes and critical thinking that makes it so relatable, enjoyable, and educational.
Nasty
I left a less-than-glowing review and they’ve deleted it. The hosts don’t seem to want any feedback.
Absolutely Wonderful
I love this podcast so much, it has been great after finishing the series. I do dislike how they pronounce some of the names, but I’m sure we’re all doing that on some point. Thank you both for deep diving into the book, I’ve been learning so much and catching things I hadn’t the first time.
