AJ and Hecklefish are the best!

Love this show. Love the WhyFiles! I’ve watched every episode on YouTube multiple times over the last couple years and now I’m doing the same with the podcast (the use of AI animation in the videos has gotten a bit distracting lately so I am even more enjoying relistening to episodes!)

Writing my first ever podcast review to say: This show is so amazing and always brings me comfort no matter how I’m feeling. Well thought out, engaging, and incredibly insightful... AJ, Jen, and Gino, please don’t ever stop!!
