i stumbled upon your guy's podcast by accident and am so very happy that i did! i love the entire idea of this show...i don't know what that says about me but i don't care because it's fantastic!! LOL i feel like i am involved in a hang-out session with spencer and madison when i listen, and i have found myself laughing a lot at all the crazy shit they talk about! i especially love the peleton advertisement at the beginning of episode 6 or 7 (can't remember)... they need to get paid for that shit! lol too funny!! anyways, love the idea, love the hosts, love the chit-chat! keep up the great work, guys! i'll be listening to every episode from here on out! :)

Simply the BEST

I am a bit picky with the podcasts I listen to. I just don't connect with all of them, but I LOVE the
Obitchuary podcast. I have found that while listening in I have laughed til I've cried easily every episode. Spencer and Madison are fabulous! I've talked about this podcast with everyone I know, and many are now hooked on it as well.
If you're looking for a new podcast to listen to and actually enjoy, give them a shot. You won't be disappointed.

A damn good time

I really enjoyed this podcast. It's funny, interesting and entertaining. I looked for Cult Liter and I couldn't find it on Audible. I really hope they pick it up in the future so I can enjoy my new favorite with my muidah.
