  • Love it

    I’m really enjoying your podcast guys but the only one thing I will say, is your sound effects and back music can be louder than your voices. I’m currently listening to your back catalog so I’m hoping it improves in that regards. Other than that great pod :) x

  • Too much of a bad thing!

    It’s an ok show, but there are way too many references to a book series written by she who shall not be named for me to continue to listen to it. Best of luck, but I just can’t anymore.
