Customer Reviews
Greg and Mitch are just so funny
Great mix of funny jokes and insightful scientific facts. I’ve listened to all 4 episodes so far, but all are beyond my expectations. The content is super interesting, with a good balance of hard facts and personal experiences. But what makes this podcast so unique and special is Greg and Mitch’s personality as well as their chemistry as a couple. They sound so cute together, and their chemistry is heartwarming and funny at the same time. As a straight girl living in Asia, it’s also great that I can know more about the gay culture/community, and their personal experiences as a gay couple. Keep up the amazing work, and looking forward to your future episodes!!!
