Customer Reviews
Nate ruins any episode he’s on
Nate, please please stay on topic, stop interrupting every show you are on with daily weather reports from London! We get it, you live in London, enough. I try desperately to listen to episodes Nate is on but it’s impossible.
Lions led by donkeys alternatively known as podcast hosted by bigots
Midwestern americans morons who think they know everything about everyone and freely make judgements about people. Typical white american bigotry on display
Outstanding.
Good information with a delicate balance of humor mixed in. Offshoots of conversation are sometimes more informative than they have any right to be, and make me stifle laughter in public areas. Overall a great podcast.
