  • It’s ok

    The premise is great and sounds exciting but nothing is really delivered. My favorite episode was the last one which is with the author of Gods Bankers, which is probably more interesting than this podcast.

  • The story about the pope

    I enjoyed hearing about the different locations because I went to that school Saint Augustine’s at the time of the plane crash. It’s really an interesting podcast. I’d give it an A+.
