S E40: Commencement Speech Or Fortune Cookie? | 040

It’s commencement speech season, so Josh and his guest, BJ Shea, play a game called Commencement Speech or Fortune Cookie? Producer Kayla will read a sentence, and the guys have to decide if it’s from a speech or a fortune cookie. They also discuss a possible hunting and fishing ban in one state, a drone crackdown on illegal fireworks and why Josh wants five minutes alone with a postal carrier.  Links * Follow BJ Shea [https://www.instagram.com/bjshea/] on Instagram! * Sign up for the free weekly newsletter “5 Things Rolling Around In My Head [https://lunaticinthenewsroom.com/newsletter/]” * Email here [https://lunaticinthenewsroom.com/contact/]. * See Josh's picture [https://lunaticinthenewsroom.com/bio/]!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
