Customer Reviews
Delightful
Quirky and (at times) wholesomely twisted, Dan and Brandon play off each other in endearing exchanges about the most unexpected topics, which they make downright interesting. They’re sincere in their friendship, and it feels as though they pull the listener into that camaraderie with them. I can’t stop listening!
Avid listener who’s now disgusted.
I adored this podcast, the insights they give towards writing and the craft is excellent, the breakdown of media is also very eye opening. However, all they talk about now is food and “food” heists. I’m just sick of hearing about food. As people get older it seems that’s the only thing they know how to talk about. It’s disgusting and I wish they could return to hosting an actual podcast.
I can’t stop.
Why can’t I stop? THEY TALK ABOUT NOTHING!
