Customer Reviews
Episode 433
Due to heavy Bluey intake my daughter has picked up some Australian vernacular like calling “shopping carts” “trolleys” and 8/12 podcasts I listen to are by Australian creators soooooooooooooooooooooo
Love the podcast!
*sips tea* Oh please, do go on…
This has become my favorite podcast over the past year.
The combo of Matt, Jess, and Dave is spectacular. Their often self-deprecating humor combined with a teensy bit of a history report is just what I need in my week. The more obscure the topic, the more interesting it is, and they really keep the level up for the entirety of the show.
While I appreciate Matt and Dave, I think it’s Jess hissing, “get fuuuuucked” that really makes me burst into laughter every time while I’m driving to or from my job.
Great work, and please…do go on.
The Weekly Planet
The weekly planet is a wonderful podcast with 2 Australian blokes taking about movies, TV shows, and anything else.
