Tenmaca ,

Interesting discussions

I don’t usually listen to true crime but the forensic psychology and deep dive was intriguing. Mao and Nao bring in different perspectives and insight while being funny and witty. It’s a great listen and I look forward to their next episodes!

Elle Jellybean ,

Amazing to listen to!!

AD stationed in Okinawa 35 yr old Caucasian female raised in NC. Not always the most open minded area. I questioned many things growing up so I’ve been told that I’m more spiritual than religious. Your show hits hard in the best ways. Listening to this podcast your show!!!! I’ve learned things, found new interests, and entertained. I love the various topics and the tone is relaxing but fun. I will be stationed in Cali next year but I’m looking forward to binging all the episodes on the flight back so that I can catch up.

❤️ them!
