Keep em coming!!

Jake is the best. His dream recaps are hilarious and I always finish the podcast knowing something new. The music improvisation has such a deeply chill vibe that lets me lose track of my thoughts for a while. Thanks for that! 👏

This podcast will make you love mornings again

I used to hate starting my week. Mondays, amiright? But then I found Wake & Jake. I listen to his soothing tunes while frying my morning egg. It’s the perfect wakey time background music and helps me put my chillest foot forward. 10 stars.
