  • Love the interviews with David Wallace

    The interviews with David Wallace are amazing, especially the ones about the Sherman’s, but let David talk more. He reveals incredible info but you interrupt him a lot that stops the flow. Otherwise keep bringing the interesting topics.

  • Honest and passionate, but not crazy

    Great podcast. James is not afraid to discuss topics in depths, out of many’s comfort zone, even though it might bring him retaliation (Plymouth Brethren CC). What drew me in is his unwavering support for victims of the Plymouth Brethren and his dedication to see this case till the end. That is integrity.
