Customer Reviews
Alpo Martinez
Great podcast. The movie Paid in Full was produced by JayZ and is based off the true story of Alpos life. Great movie. You guys would love it!
Detroit City Police and City Hall
After watching White Boy, it seems like Detroit city hall and of were more ruthless than some criminals.
I’d love to hear an episode or two about Detroit City people like Kym Worthy, Gill Hill and assorted mayors
Cheers
Perfect podcast for any history buff
Love these guys. Love the guests. They make my days working better. Didnt think i would get into learning stuff like ths but they make it fun and keep it real. And they have there “s” together when it comes to the recording and releasing. Ive listen to other podcasts that arnt edited or proof heard by the broadcasters before releasing so halfway through and episode youll lose one of the hosts and then they mess with the volume and blow your ears out or make it hard to hear. These guys…. Nah never worry about that. Hey fellas, think you could create a list or two of movies, docus, books, and maybe other podcasts like yours that you would suggest? Hour long episode doesnt help an 8hr day and i do love OC tv and movies. Heck rank. Oh, and what about audio books that dont put you to sleep? I tried the Five Families one.. boy…. Drowzy…
