    #4193 Super Friends

    Luke and Andrew team up with Lindy and Meagan from the Text Me Back podcast to create a podcasting supergroup of sorts. Or maybe it’s more of a “Voltron of hilarity”, or a “half-chipmunk, half-horse of digital audio content”? Whatever you call it, it’s a lot of laughs and a lot of talk about frying pans.

Tens Forevah!

Luke and Andrew and the amazing online Tens Community truly are curing global loneliness. In fact, TBTL is the only reason I have not completely lost my sanity this year. Thank you TBTL, pod pets, and fellow Tens! Highly highly recommend!

it’s like listening to your two best friends talk

Comfort listening at its finest, I always enjoy hearing Luke and Andrew talk about their daily lives, and their candid honesty about both the little and big things in our lives that make a big difference for us all. I feel like I know them personally, and I listen to them all the time every day. Highly recommend for anyone!

The best show about nothing and everything

It’s 2023, and this review from 6 years ago is still true - they are my best imaginary friends!

I’m never sure how to describe TBTL...but I can say that I’ve been listening every weekday since 2012ish! Luke and Andrew are friends that chat every day about their lives. It’s funny, full of inside jokes, often heartfelt, but never saccharine. All I can say is, give it a listen for a few days, and I bet you’ll be hooked!
