Relatable and funny

I especially enjoyed the episode with the Vonnegut reference. I also was abroad on 9/11 and this brought me back to the heightened drama of backpacking through Europe of my youth.
This podcast feels like you really are reading someone’s journal, which I love.

I laughed out loud!

Recently finished listening to the latest episode about LF and really enjoyed “revisiting” places from my childhood stomping grounds. Looking forward to hearing more.

Pencrush ,

It’ll knock your pants off!

Great storytelling and humor in a concise little package. If you like narrative podcasts with warmth, humor and a dash of sass, this is for you.
