    Ep. 74 - Smells

    Zach and Lexi take advantage of their podcast format for a topic that is truly best discussed in an audio only setting— smells. Good smells, bad smells, all of the smells. This episode's a real stinker.

Of course 5 Stars

Episode 51 was awesome I learned so much about my bonus son ( not really I knew most of this) but it made me appreciate the fact that he turned out pretty awesome. Love the banter that you can still hear clearly. Keep up the good work we will be listening

A West Coast Review

There are so many podcasts on the inter-webs today that it is very easy to view the market as oversaturated. It’s always the stereotypical one or two host shows that discusses random topics and promote commentary without ever really giving a reason why we should listen, and sometimes even inviting either specialists or celebrities for flavor or draw. And this show is exactly that.

Now why the five stars and why is Rad Or Sad any different?

It’s because this show doesn’t strive for perfection, they just strive to make something that even they will enjoy. This show is raw, pure, and downright so relatable that you can’t help but grin at the small feelings the hosts share because, well, you felt the same feelings. You’ll find yourself wanting to add your own input or agreeing (or disagreeing) or even trying to guess what their talk-points are even gonna be. Their discussion is straight fun, the on-air chemistry is so infectious (I’m sorry for this term in 2020), and they emit this vibe of cute, structured, chaotic fun. And their view points are as real and relatable as can be. We’ve all been on a plane where people clapped, we all believe Treasure Planet is SERIOUSLY under appreciated, and we all have foods we shouldn’t like, but do anyway.

TLDR: This podcast is so approachable, like you can have a beer with them (subtle Hamilton reference is subtle).

Stay real, stay true, and can’t wait for the Audible and Raycon sponsorships.👌🏼

Better than a Rom-Com 🥰

Zach and Lexi are the cutest couple! But they are even better when you don’t have to look at them. Which is why this podcast is so amazing (jk)! The chemistry these two have make this relaxing podcast both calming & joyful. My favorite episode is the Coffee episode, I was laughing the entire time from their hilariously truthful commentary. 10/10 better than garlic bread
