  • 10 stars

    If 10 stars were available, that’s what I would rate it. Troy is the definition of well researched and separates legend from lore. In the post narration discussion, Cody asks the questions we all are wondering and some I wouldn’t even think to ask. This duo is super engaged with their listeners and that speaks volumes to the kind of community they have built. Been listening since season 3 and won’t be stoping anytime soon.
