Customer Reviews
Edgy, yet smooth as glass.
If you're not listening, you're missing out. I had to change my pants twice in one hour from laughing so much. I can't say enough about these guys, so I won't.
Best. PodCast. Ever.
What is there not to love, from their weekly that's messed up to awful poetry (which is TRULY awful) this podcast has it all. Combine it all with their witty banter and insightful comments (who am I kidding, I listen to hear Ben laugh uncontrollably while chatting about his weekly traffic reports) this podcast is a pure delight.
Wish it was more frequent
The Grapes of Rad is among the best podcasts I've found. I only wish it came out more often. The commentary is always funny and the production is genuinely impressive. It would be worth while for the "Hey Bartender" segment alone.
