Our Editor's Take

Over the last several decades, YouTubers have become media figures in their own right. Get Close is a podcast that sees two popular YouTubers enter the world of podcasting.

The Get Close podcast is an offshoot of the popular YouTube channel Bart & Geo. The channel has almost 790,000 subscribers and remains popular on social media. Its creators are Bart Kwan and Geo Antoinette. They are a married couple who often make videos about their family and personal life. Many of these videos are comedic in nature.

However, the channel is not the first successful endeavor in terms of social media for these podcast hosts. That channel itself is an offshoot of another YouTube comedy channel, JustKiddingFilms. The channel's creators are Bart Kwan and Joe Jitsukawa. They specialize in producing comedic videos about the Asian experience, among other topics.

As one might expect, Get Close is primarily a comedy podcast. Episodes such as "Smelly D***" and "You Can Pull My Hair" see the married couple talking frankly about sex and other intimate topics. The two hosts have a natural comedic chemistry together. It adds a sense of sincerity and honesty to the podcast.

Despite its comedic nature, Get Close also examines more serious topics on the show. These include such things as physical fitness, financial health, and divorce. The couple also discusses their son and his ADHD diagnosis in one episode. These moments help the podcast feel more well-rounded than it would be otherwise.

In many ways, Get Close feels like one is catching up with an old pal they haven't seen in a while. The hosts manage to navigate well between being raunchy and heartfelt.

New episodes of Get Close premiere on Monday of each week.
