FUN SHOW!

I love listening to these two, they have such great back-and-forth, and clearly love what they’re doing! Every episode is full of interesting history, as well as lots of laughter!

Nullity ,

Giggly

Way too much giggling by the cohost Maddie? It’s that laugh that Gen Z has that can be so annoying but is affected by many Podcasters in that age group. Sorry, I tried, I came from True Crime Feed.

NappyDresser ,

Guy Morris Interview!

Super interesting and creepy! If you like Jenkins…Give it a listen.
