Customer Reviews
One of my favorite podcasts
I’ve been listening to podcasts for a few years now, and discovered Smirk after listening to some of the hosts’ other podcasts. This one has quickly become one of my favorites. Not only are Aaron, Amanda, and Zack all talented writers and storytellers, but their unique personalities all play so well with each other. Every episode is incredibly entertaining as Zack explores the dark underbelly of humanity, Amanda asks the who, what, where, when, why and how of “trictional” situations, and Aaron tries to maintain some level of control. This show is sure to make you smirk. ;)
Short and sweet and totally worth your time
Some podcasts seem to droll on or run long, but this one is always the perfect length. That, coupled with an amazing crew and fantastic short stories, this is a can’t miss podcast.
Great Listen
I listen to the podcast on my commute to work and it makes the day go by. Entertaining and good stories
