Silly, Fun and Almost Informative

A friend turned me on to this podcast and I've now listened to all of them. Super silly and playful, Jarrett (the host) knows how to get the funny out of the dead people! The people he finds to do this are great. Each has their own style so each episode has its own vibe. Very cool and would recommend to everyone!
