Customer Reviews
The story is good, but needs a language warning.
This is not the podcast for me, but it may be for you. I don’t like explicit profanity. I get a cuss word will come up in a lot of shows, but one after the other after the other is just, so juvenile. It made this unlistenable for me. The story is very good, but I just can’t get past the language.
Captivating
Truly one of the most quirky and intriguing storytelling I’ve ever come across. Each character is eccentric and charismatic in their own right. Creative and always engaged in such raw or hilarious dialect in ever episode..
Obsessed
I have to admit that I wait, albeit impatiently, for each new episode. I love the story line, each character and the bawdiness of it all. More please!
