Customer Reviews
Very interesting.....
Who knew?? I found these podcasts to be very interesting and informative. It's refreshing to know that there are people out there who care enough to inform us of interesting facts that fuel our brains rather than the typical trash that floods us daily. Does anybody really care which celebrity went into rehab this week? This makes for much more interesting conversation around the "water cooler". Not to mention that it makes you sound smart :) Keep up the good work!
My guys!
Through covid you guys have been my staple. If anyone says otherwise screw em. SYSK till I die.
Episode request!
As my partner and I decorated the apartment for Christmas, we were wondering why people hang mistletoes and why people kiss under them. I decided to bypass google and see if this show had an episode on it. If you do, I couldn’t find it! I’d love to hear some backstory on this topic :)
