Ridiculously Funny

Oh man…what a smart, funny podcast! I binged both seasons over a long drive today and am so glad I did. I don’t LOL often, but did many times listening to this. Nicely done!

Loving this series

Absolutely hilarious! Great acting, production, and music!!! Perfect send up of 80s hair metal. Wish there were more radio shows like this, it amazing to find original material that’s so good — and again, legitimately excellent music. Still laughing thinking about the band naming episode 😂
