  • One of the best!!!

    Been a fan since the beginning, they were my companions in 2021 during physical therapy, and I haven’t stopped listening to them since. Such a good story, characters, and good people to support

  • In it for the Long Haul!

    Highly recommend! The podcast is high quality, entertaining, well edited and an immersive experience! I’ve been listening from roughly episode 21, and this story and team have come so far! The only foible is the most recent episodes feel a bit scant and mildly over-edited, though the producers would know best!
