Customer Reviews
FUN Endearing
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the LA Breakfast Club and felt like I was right there in the room. This quirky banter is sweet and informative. When I have time for a longer form podcast this is definitely one worth listening to on long car rides.
Fun discusion of interesting topics and subcultures
Fun discusion of interesting topics and subcultures
Fun and intriguing
On the hunt for a MFM treatment of cults instead of murders and I tried this. It’s not exactly that but still really enjoyable and they cover crazy things that you’ve never heard of. I like their banter and, while rarely laugh out loud funny, still very entertaining.
