My favorite podcast

I have been listening since Knox did all the editing and Jamie made cake pops. I don’t recall a disappointing episode; it’s my favorite. I look forward to Wednesday and never miss an episode. Every episode is fun to listen to, and production standards are top notch. This is the podcast that keeps me in the know about all things pop culture - for adults. No spite, no hate, all content all the time.

Hold my earrings

I wasn’t even gonna do a review but the one star evangelical christian reviews made me so mad. Mind your own business people, go listen to your Joel Osteen podcast. Or whatever. The popcast has actually renewed my faith in faith, you know? The faith your one star review Christian nastiness tramples on? Anyhow. Popcast Media Group, I love ya. My first episode was about Taylor Swift - Antichrist or not - and I’ve been listening ever since. Thanks for helping us all laugh and grow and change. Shout out to Calley and Hannah for passing the joy of the PMG to me.

Hundo P would recommend!

My fave, never miss a week!
