  • Love this show!!!!

    I’ve been listening to this show since 2018 and it is still the only podcast I will listen to without wanting to throw up.

    I took a break for a year or two thinking I didn’t like podcasts at all, until I gave it another try catching up with the episodes I missed and now I am a tried and true cover to cover member of our “club”.

    You can even call in, and I have!! A few times!! Astounding.

    I learn so much every episode.

    Thanks Neil!!!!
