Brilliant imagination !
Loved every episode ! Congrats to both of you for the fabulous work.
Wow 👍
Clever AND funny 🤓👏
457867 stars!!!
Wildly imaginative. Portals into strange worlds.
This is the definition of
absurd in any audio dictionary...if such a thing existed. Juxtapose a world-weary mindset with a zeal to entice and you have Muffy. A chortle here, a snicker there. But always funny. Forget those true crime podcasts—we want laughs! Muffy serves them up with a heaping side of sighs. Bon appetit.
