  • Brian Has A Nice Voice

    I like listening to Brian’s voice. Anybody can make a podcast these days, but most people’s voices are not audibly satisfying. There is an art to this and Brian exemplifies it. I also hope they get Billy Morrisette back on the show soon. Or me, and we can talk more about the art of the voice. Anyways, listen to this podcast if you can.
