Great!

Great podcast, love the show. Really funny and well done

LouiVLiam ,

Hilarious and Insightful!

Aside from the comedic story telling, this podcast gives major insight on the different lives/perspectives from comedians/entertainers that most do not hear; You may even relate to some instances at times. THE BROKE STOPS HERE!

EmWil13 ,

Poignant & hilarious!

I like that the show is talking about a very common issue that hardly ever gets talked about. It does social justice work in that respect. It normalizes financial struggles and takes away some of the stigma and it’s funny. The spirit of the guests comes through when they laugh at themselves or talk about how they knew others were thinking about them or might judge them. Very funny and smart concept! Definitely listen to this podcast!
