The SWU is fantastic!

The show has always been good, but lately it’s firing on all cylinders! Adding Hannah to the cast was an excellent move. Sometimes I get concerned when a show’s lineup changes, but she’s done nothing but add to the dynamic (glad I finished that sentence). In the most recent episode in particular everyone was funny, and the camaraderie and chemistry were on fire! So the show just keeps getting better. Keep it up everyone!

Had potential, then became repulsive

This used to be a decent podcast, then things turned ugly by attacking other podcasters and taking things way to far into the political realm.
