As Addictive as Peanut M&Ms.

These podcasts are excellent. Thoughtful, irreverent, open-minded, stupid funny. Choose your adjectives. I want more!

I would give 10 stars if I could!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mike is refreshing. He isn't afraid to make conversation about real issues. He gets me thinking about my own ideas and challenges me how to look at things differently.

Great Story about a Great Artist.

Until the little hints added up, I did not realize who it was in the story. My favorite artist of all time. Thank you.
