  • Review Response (Rant!)

    Robby and Sammi have had a lot going on recently - Robby has been traveling for work and they shot a Horror short film for a local film festival! But today they join you for a quick episode in response to a recent Apple Podcast review they received in response to the Dopesick series. Differing viewpoints and opinions are welcome, but this poster seemed to be more of a troll than wanting an educated debate. 

    Also in today's episode, Sammi talks about expanding topics, and Robby and Sammi share that they have a new podcast show in the works. 

    Shout-out to Phil! Stay strong!
