  • Mega Presents...The Rise and Fall of Twin Hills

    Mega Presents...The Rise and Fall of Twin Hills
    Nov 6 2023

    The Rise & Fall of Twin Hills is gripping five-part mockumentary investigating a scandal involving the podcast’s fictional pastor. It masterfully combines elements of self-seriousness and sharp satire to present a story that is both absurd and believable, touching upon themes of power, popularity, secrets, sex, money, and even the temptation of delectable Chic-fil-A chicken nuggets.

    This is Part 1: Of Milk & Miracles - When a struggling food blogger comes to review the Chick-Fil-A at a local mega church, he stumbles on scandals involving its lead pastor Steve Judson.

Wholesome joy for the season

This has been the best podcast discovery for me this year, honestly. It has brought such much lighthearted joy to the season, especially during the omicron wave. I laughed so hard with many episodes such as "Pigeon eating trash" and the Joyce and Terrence one. I thought I was the only one that thought that Christmas newsletters are too much and now feel validated! Looking forward to season 3 next year!

Hilarious!!!This is a highly underrated podcast

In 2020 this was one of the few things that got me into the holidays. I'm writing a review now because I'm seeing that there isn't a season yet 2?? I waited a whole year hoping this would be an annual podcast, logged on and only saw old episodes :(
Please consider launching more!!
