The Very Refreshing Podcast
Dylan Hamar and Alek Jetsel are two buddies who like….well, stuff.
As in, all the stuff. You name it, they want to talk about it.
Dylan and Alek chat about their favorite pieces of pop culture and share experiences about their attempts at creative expression. They’ll laugh. They’ll cry. They’ll goof around.
They probably won’t cry. Don’t know why we wrote that.
It's delicious. It's the Very Refreshing Podcast.
Check it out wherever you listen to podcasts.
