Customer Reviews
This is AMAZING!
There's not many ASL podcasts, but even if there were 1,000,004 of them, this one would still be the best and most enjoyable. It has it all: ASL education, ASL history, humorous hosts, wonderful guests, and it's rich, man, it's rich! Anyway, if you can't tell, I really enjoy it.
No Rules
I’ve been listening for a few months. It’s pretty cool but I don’t like the Rules. I like the silly song but I don’t want to have to listen to a podcast with a notebook and pen and the rule book . Sure, I’m a bit of a newbie and barely grasp the rules but this is not the format for learning them. I want to hear about all sorts of ASL stuff even if you have to mention MMP. Thanks.
Great ASL Pod
Even if you are new to ASL (like me) this is a great ASL podcast. The back and forth of the hosts is hilarious at times and their interviews and thoughts are insightful. Great stuff.
