I laughed. I cried. I Annoyed My Loved Ones.

Like so many, I discovered this podcast through tiktok. I was looking for something new to listen and thought "whatever, I'll listen to an episode." I've listened to every one in just a couple weeks. They bring up tough social subjects, make you consider complex issues we face in media/life, all while giving you a good laugh. I can't shut up about them to all my friends and family. They're so done with me. BIWA definitely gained a fan.
