Devin • Podstack Jul 21, 2024

"Not only does their name and so much of the language around their show include many delightful puns, their production absolutely delivers on that fun style. The production quality perfectly balances being fun and informative and they make it really easy to keep up with any lingo or unfamiliar concepts."

"If you liked Who Shat on the Floor at My Wedding, I have another shit-based mystery for you...Backed Up isn’t quite as funny as Who Shat?, but it is funny and playful, and you can tell Becca and Ella had a blast making it."
