You never know what you’ll learn…
POP’s hosts can keep you entertained all on their own, but add in their special guests and you’re in for a fun show! You never know what they’ll say. Ha!
This podcast isn’t just for locals either - anyone can benefit. I’m always up for those wanting to support their community. Keep up the good work, guys!
Horrible missing logan dunne episode
I'll be honest, I can't speak to this podcast's other episodes, which the hosts may be much better at, but I just listened to the missing Logan Dunne one, and I'm embarrassed on your behalf, that you thought you had the chops to take on a topic of this gravity... you came across as not taking this seriously as you joked about being born in the 80s vs 90s and other offhand chuckles/laughs throughout, bringing up irrelevant weird topics "what was Logan like as a baby?", using past tense verbs for him (?!), just to name a few. I can only put myself in that mother's shoes, being a mom myself, and her thoughts were probably why did we agree to do this again? Also, have you ever watched a Dateline? If not, you really should before you take on a subject like this again. The care with interviewing family members going through something like this should be considered before jumping into it if not experienced with it.
Scousins is my new favorite word!
Great work Jeff & Reagan! Super excited to see where you take this podcast and continue to highlight the amazing people of Peoria.
