The Franklin Chronicles

Comedy EN ↓ 14 episodes

Welcome to The Franklin Chronicles , where my unending search for the profound in the mundane usually takes a sharp left into ridiculousness. Expect stories, rants, random musings, and whatever else I can cook up — all served with a side of humor and a sprinkle of “what the hell just happened?” Kick off your shoes (but keep your socks on — we ain’t that close) and settle in. If you hear something you like, leave a comment and let me know.
