Customer Reviews
So glad you guys are back!
I used to watch your YouTube all the time. Now I’m finally getting caught up with the podcast. I forgot how much I loved hearing your chats about random topics. I hope you keep making episodes. 😊
Politics, politics, and more politics
I LOVED watching their YouTube series, it was quirky, unique and entertaining. However, this podcast gives an entire different vibe, It is sometimes very difficult to listen to. Every episode is the same, politics and COVID. I can understand that there are issues in the world, but if I want to listen to news I would tune in somewhere else. However, they seem to FINALLY be moving away from the COVID talk (thank god). I don’t consider myself a political person but this show just constantly bashes America and Americans. Jim makes sure to make it very clear which side of the aisle he is on with every episode. Please leave the Trump/Biden talk to the news, I don’t think listeners come here for that.
The best part of 2020 so far!
As someone from the American South with a love for German language and culture, your youtube series was my favorite thing to watch! So far the podcast is just as entertaining and eye opening, and it feels like I’m catching up with old friends. Love y’all!
