Hamsterdam

We’re launching a new podcast! It’s called Watch This Immediately. Steve grew up as the son of a preacher man and I grew up in the Middle East. Consequently, there’s a lot of pop culture that we both missed out on as kids and as adults. We hope you’ll join us as we try to correct these wrongs.Here’s the link you can paste into your podcast player: Watch This Immediately This is a public episode.
