Just heard the one where Raph was drunk. It was great, he performed perfectly, except for a slight indicative tone in his voice - guys a professional. I heard he has an Apple house. This is a great podcast

They *are* a bit greedy with the ads. I’d be more than happy to pay for their premium version but tbh it’s just priced too high. It’s not worth that price, which is a shame. I’m subbed to several other paid pods which imo are higher value and at a lower price.
