  • Truly a pivotal moment in my life

    Ever since dipping my toes into listening to podcasts, I always enjoyed comedic shows or slice of life, but The Ben and Emil Show (BAES) leaves me feeling so much more informed then I could ever be on my own. Hearing testimonials from timely geusts and the digging from hosts is top notch, and all while being hilarious in their own right.
