DYNAMIC BANTER! with Mike & Steve
by Headgum and Dynamic Banter
Stand-up comedian Mike Falzone (Surrounded) and internet personality Steve Zaragoza (The Valleyfolk, SourceFed) aren't just two guys from LA with a podcast. They're two best friends with a podcast! Close your eyes and the picture the last time you laughed so hard with your friends you couldn't breathe. That's what Dynamic Banter is like, both for the hosts and their loyal audience who at the end of each episode feel part of 100 new inside jokes. You’re officially invited to the DB party to hear thoughts on movies & tv, pop culture and more, but Mike and Steve will totally understand if you’ve got something else going on.
