Customer Reviews
I love it
I’m a huge fan of Potterless Podcast and it was a fun surprise to hear Mikes voice on one of the Q&A episodes 😂
But I would totally recommend this podcast
Nice companion piece
If you loved the show these podcasts are a nice addition and offer some more information and insight.
Kept Me on the Edge of My Seat
There are certain things you just can’t make up! And the story of McDonald’s being defrauded out of $24 million is one I’ll never forget. The McMillion$ documentary kept me on the edge of my seat and the complementary podcast was icing on the cake. Well-produced plus the diversity of people involved makes this a true piece of Americana.
