The podcast you didn’t know you needed
Sam and Shelby are amazing. Give it a listen you will not be disappointed. Promise.
It's Rom-Simply a good podcast
If you watch rom-coms or have heard of rom-coms or have never heard of rom-coms or even if you've never heard of anything and are a baby I would recommend this podcast. I think as a baby you could maybe learn some basic English words from it and as a REAL PERSON - that's right babies aren't people, I said it - you can find laughs and love and life lessons. And maybe come out of it a little bit smarter, okay? How does that sound? Maybe get an education for once. Pick up a book. Listen to this podcast. You can be better and this podcast'll do it for you.
