    Thanks for all of your pods. The John Lennon one almost brought me to tears as you closed off the episode.

    I was 8 years old when he was shot down. My Parents and Sister were all so devastated as music was our thing.

    You did such a fab job mate

    Co host on the Brittany Murphy episode spoils the episode. She has very little knowledge of Brittany , lacks the vocabulary or medical knowledge to make any comment. Edit this out and we have a 5 star episode
