Escape the Grind Show
An fun entertainment and pop-culture based show that will help you escape the daily grind.
About the show
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!

When something is "soooo Raven" you can't stop raving about it, or something is "so Sheedy" you just have to get it off your chest. It's so good Raven Symone approves, or it's so bad that Ally Sheedy gets sad about it. That's Raven/Sheedy, and The Guys (formerly The Boys) are bringing you just that, stuff they think is good from the past month, or stuff they just have to get off their chest.
