Love it!

I find myself eagerly anticipating episodes each week.

Red Rock Maranda ,

Brilliant!

I never miss an episode. The “Rabbit Holers” are informative and humorous as they share interesting facts about unusual topics.

Brilliant!

I adore you three. Smart, funny, informative. You have great chemistry. Feels very conversational in the moment although I know you all come armed with facts and fun tidbits.
I only learned about the podcast through Charles’s new book, A Very Private School (I just started it and anticipate a good read). This needs to be brought to people’s attention more. I’m doing my part. I’m telling everyone I can!
