“A dose of this podcasts always puts a smile on my face. I reckon these two could review a menu and it’d be fun. They bring a lot of joy to a simple format, reviewing biographies. Hidden gem.
Thanks.”

“The hosts are so like able and pleasant to listen to. There’s no annoying forced banter or inside jokes like a lot of podcasts do now. And I love how impassioned they get, even if it’s a biography about someone they previously didn’t care about. I find myself trying to imitate them when I’m...”Read full review »

“I look forward to Cleo & Richard’s THRIFT SHOP BIOGRAPHY every week. Their banter and interpretations open my eyes and usually change any unfavourable judgments that I’ve made about their subjects. I especially enjoy it when either of them reveal that his or her own opinions have changed...”Read full review »

“Was doing a search on podcasts with Fred Astaire as the subject. I found this delightful, podcast talking about my favorite movie star. I’m so glad the way the female host, convinced the male host how wonderful Fred Astaire really is. It just shows that it doesn’t matter what generation you grew...”Read full review »

Actually...”Read full review »
