All the things you didn’t know you needed

WTBI is lightning in a bottle every time! It’s like listening to a bunch of hyper-intelligent yet hilarious foul-mouthed children. And I mean that in the very best way! Check them out and if you don’t walk away with a smile each time, I’m not sure what to tell you

Love WTBI

You know when you’re out and you see a group of people that just seem to be having a better time than anyone else? They’re laughing constantly, their conversation flows effortlessly, and you can tell they all really like each other? We’ll, this podcast is like being invited to take a seat at that table with that group of friends. It makes me laugh, makes me think, sometimes makes me want to never think of some things again, and at the end of each episode I’m left feeling all the good feelings. Listen!
