    Ivy Insights

    The Free to A Good Home podcast is quite literally the funniest podcast on the internet. I have been listening to it for years and no other show can compare to the humor that Michael Hing and Ben Jenkins bring. Their banter is unparalleled, and they consistently have excellent guests, many of whom are their friends. I must also congratulate them on their engagement to the fascinating but somewhat evil Hum!

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the sheer hilarity that it delivers. The jokes are top-notch, and I find myself laughing out loud throughout each episode. The chemistry between Michael and Ben is fantastic, and their genuine friendship shines through in every conversation. Additionally, the guests they invite on the show always add a delightful dynamic, especially favorites like Alexei and the hosts of bigsofttitty.

    However, there are a few downsides to this podcast. Firstly, it can be inconsistent in its release schedule, which can be frustrating for dedicated listeners. Furthermore, some of the early episodes have audio issues that can be distracting. Lastly, while I personally enjoy the sometimes-disgusting topics and jokes, I understand that it may not appeal to everyone.

    In conclusion, The Free to A Good Home podcast is a must-listen for anyone in need of a good laugh. Despite its flaws, it has brought me more joy than any other media I've consumed. I highly recommend starting from the beginning to fully appreciate the running jokes that make it even funnier. So grab some snacks and prepare for laughter because this podcast truly delivers in spades!
