About this podcast
From The Boys who brought you The Draft Podcast, you're listening to Escape the Grind. Will The Boys still be drafting Pop-Culture Drafts? Yes. What's going to be different from TDP? A lot. The Boys are shortening their episode lengths to accommodate the listeners, they're adding new games and improv based eps, and so much more. You can even expect a once-a-month Raven and Sheedy episode, which is just the boys raving about what was great in their lives, and maybe even airing a grievance or two (but in a fun, lighthearted way). Get ready to Escape the Grind!
