“I’ve loved Paula’s brain since the original iterations of the “wages of sin” joke. (Back in the 80’s laughing at that may have been my first meaningful step in my journey as a recovering evangelical) She has made me feel represented for years as I suffer a roughly similar neurodivergence and cannot myself stop talking even when common sense dictates. The surprising thing about this podcast is how it has adapted. Some podcasts are locked into one way of doing things. This one is ever shifting. From episode to episode I look forward to what they are going to add or subtract- how will they structure it this time? AND someone gets designated my favorite cast member weekly! Paula, Adam, Captain Crinkle and Toni Anita Hull! BUT More and more I enjoy the Easter egg like interjections from support cast- the shy Julie who creeps in to provide contrast (“this is what a NORMAL person sounds like next these people- do you hear a little fear in her voice?”), Wendle- glimpsed through dry one word interjections (when I catch one of these, I feel weirdly as if I have really accomplished something that day!) and the incredible VIC!! (I mean- did YOU know a podcast could be edited sarcastically?!?!) If y’all are not friends in the way I can feel from the podcast, please, keep it a secret. I don’t wanna know. Years ago I was scarred in finding out about a certain Yuletide character- don’t take this from me as well!”
