Love love love

I love this show, every episode is something incredible. I especially love all the misinformation that Austin loves to spread and how Anna normally takes a second to be like nuh uh. But truly amazing thank you guys.

Reading definitely isn’t for kids

Honestly love this podcast I found it through another one of your sister podcasts and came over here as quick as I could, I’ve been listened to all of them, initially over on Spotify but I loved it so much I came to apple just to write a review and listen again! Keep it up, also love the joke books at the end, I’ve been annoying my girlfriend with the jokes! 100/10
