Sugarlumps88 ,

Great relatable duo

I thoroughly enjoy the podcast. Jake and Kris make a great pair with a balance of perspective. But for the love of god, Joel Feder is insufferable, please expose us to less of him. He sounds like a child that skipped his Ritalin and thinks his opinion is fact. I can’t be alone in skipping the episodes where he is “featured”

Fun And Entertaining Podcast

I love the Overcrest Podcast. The subjects they cover are often fun and obscure. They also have deep dives into known stories which enrich our knowledge by going deep into the stories. There are times that I don’t always agree with Kris or Jake (more so Kris lol), but I always respect their views because they’re supported by substance. Even when I find myself disagreeing with them, I am always entertained by them. I look forward to continued enjoyment from listening to them! Thanks Kris and Jake, keep the great content coming!

Amazing podcast! stop cussing ,

Please stop the cussing

I am a younger guy who loves cars and motorcycles. This podcast has taught me to look at things differently and over all, this is an amazing podcast to listen to. It’s funny, clever, and sets a good opinion. As I said, I really like this podcast but when I listen to it, I have to put on headphones because I don’t know when the next cuss word comes out. I live with my parents and they get annoyed when I listen to people cussing left and right without a boundary.
Thank you for understanding!
