Customer Reviews
One of the best
If you’re just finding this series and wondering whether to invest the time in 3
Series - do it! It is MASTERFUL story telling, very funny, and insightful and so good that I didn’t want to listen to the final episode for so long just to preserve one final new ep. It goes to SO many places you’d never imagine, offers great behind the scenes acting/directing stuff from all kinds of people. And ofc it all finally leads to the icing on the cake!
Everything
Just keep listening to these over and over xoxo
Great podcast
Insightful and funny. Heard about it on David Farrier’s Substack Webworm. So glad I found it.
