What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I was recommended this podcast from one of the other ones I’ve gotten into (world gone wrong). It’s hard for me to get into podcasts on the first listen, typically I listen to an episode get bored and then circle back later on but this one? I completely binged. I was taking the long way home, sitting in the parking lot of my apartment, deep cleaning my kitchen simply so I could put this on in the background and finish just one more episode. Most of the time I can create a distinction between podcasts and real life but with this I genuinely caught myself thinking, I should call in. I am all caught up now and waiting on the edge of my seat for more. Incredible.

"A funny, well constructed show that is at times silly and thoughtful. I feel like the comedians get a lot of freedom and you can feel how much they are enjoying what they are doing which makes me enjoy it even more. It's fun to keep track of my favorite actors and their characters. Nice to listen to a solid comedy podcast"

This podcast suits my heart anytime i listen to it. I’ve shredded my little tear here and there but the dynamic between Josie and Franck and those wonderful stories always brings me a laugh

Saphira Di. · Jun 2024

I absolutely love that the audience has no idea where some of these calls are gonna go! Seeing improv comedy is one of my favorite things and this show gives me the opportunity to listen to fantastic improv anytime, anywhere! I also love the developments between Josie and Frank. I'm hooked!
