Customer Reviews
Books and humor abound
Very funny and very interesting concept. The hosts have a great chemistry for creating entertaining conversations.
It’s totally unnecessary to have read the books to listen this podcast but if you have read them, it does increase the enjoyment.
wings?
I ordered wings and the sauce was on the side?? Very disappointing. The bathroom was clean and the staff was courteous. I would come back, but the wings need to be corrected.
Five Stars
A fun pod, Grace has the most infectious laugh!
