Oddly addictive

When you listen to WTA, you feel like you’re at a table with friends. They’re casual and genuine, and their humor is superbly corny. They never fail to bring a smile to my face. The only downside is waiting for the next episode. Well done, Luke & Don (and their mom)!

I lOVE WTA!!!!!!!

If WTA has a million fans I’m one of them. If WTA has one fan, I am THAT ONE. If WTA has no fans, then I am am Deceased with a capital D. I don’t know how I stumbled upon this podcast but I am forever grateful I did because it has graced my life, enlightened me even. I am a changed woman. I have seen the light, and it is what’s that about. This seriously is my most favourite podcast. No other podcast makes me laugh as much as this one. No other podcast asks the questions I’m dying to know. I really do want to know ‘what’s that about’. I live for Dons definitions because I am in fact ineloquent. Social etiquettes guide turns me into a socially aware woman. When I listen it feels like I am eaves dropping into a conversation with Luke an Don where neither of them can stick to one train of thought and I am here for it. I wait with bated breath for new episodes, much like a woman in the 1800’s waiting for the next letter from her husband who is away at war.
