  • {~Sun’Dance~}
    Great Pod!
    I love this pod a lot! We listen to it in the car on the way home from school sometimes, and my current fav episode Is definitely the one about ice cream! It’s so cool, and I love all the sound effects. I also agree with ‘a cool history loving guy’. Please, do not do a LGBTQ episode. I support them and love them, but I’ve seen many a comment section get UGLy quick. I really like this pod, and I don’t want to see it go through what Forever Ago is 😬. Please post more!
  • ummm you don't know who

    Great podcast
    Hey mick 16 still listening congratulations on over 100 episodes. I saw a review asking you to make an LGBTQ+ episode, but I beseech you that you would not. I will not be nasty, but right now this is one of few kids entertainment sources that is clean so I ask that you keep it that way. Love the show keep it up.

    LGBTQIA+ HISTORY
    I love this podcast but the only thing I don’t like is that there are no episode about LGBTQIAP+ HISTORY. Please please please write about LGBTQIAP+ HISTORY. It would mean so much to me and all of the LGBTQIAP+ community and my friends.Btw #kittycat3000 and porgie the wizard are right. Btw my friends will flip when I tell them I sent this to you.

    Suggestions
    Honestly, this has been my favorite podcast for 2 years. So I would give this a 5 star. If you asked me, I must admit this; To many ads and maybe Mick, you could release more often? I understand that you may be busy in life as well, but I mean.. once a month…! I’ve been listening for about a year (and more), and I’ve listened to every episode at least 3 times… Adding on, I’ve been wondering if the history is relevant… I think this because the underwear series is really funny and prob my fav but not really important! But either way, I think the podcast is amazing :)and your work is surprising and nice, so keep it up!!!! Something else I must add is…The ads. Something EVERY PODCAST has to have. But honestly, 3-5 ads per a 30-40 minute podcast.. Isn’t that a little to much, or to little? Btw, can you do an episode on world wars 1 and 2?
