A very entertaining, informative, and serious podcast all the while being very laidback. It’s such a joy to listen to.

I laugh every episode

You guys are fun, and I do not want you to change the format. Not sure I’ll model nuts, but hey I never thought I’d listen to two guys prattle on about their nuts either.

Good banter

Love the coverage that you two do with good humor. Also loved the diorama versus vignette discussion

Outstanding chit-chat!

The boys are terrific to listen to and bring the right amount of humor sprinkled in with golden kernels of ideas. The ‘Paint’ episode on December 7th was marvelous!
