What’s a better rags to riches tale? The wrapper - Cursor, or the rapper - Kerser?
Thanks guys for keeping me company when training for my first marathon - I’m not sure how I’d have got through the long runs otherwise.
Weekly must listen here in Kyoto, on my commute home - great content and no disruptive ads so no reason to pay for it!
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.
