  • Big fan

    I only started listening quite recently, I am on series 3 of TNG (with you, I have watched the whole series many times) and I am really enjoying it! It’s better now Sarah is in it as it’s good to have a female perspective.

    I am struggling with my mental health at the moment and this series really helps to make me smile and laugh through the blur ☺️
