    Been a day one listener and love the show. Only complaint is waiting this long to have Donnie’s cousin on. She was fascinating and my favorite episode so far! I hope she can come back on for future episodes. Well done

  • The one time and only

Timm Woods Might Be The Most Cultured Dungeon Master In All The Lands | Drop A Pin Ep. 99
Q: If you could teach abroad in any fantasy world, where would you go?

Donnie’s Cousin Was Kidnapped in Yemen (While Pregnant) (📍Yemen) | Drop A Pin Ep. 93
Q: How did your life change after moving into the ambassador's residence?
I gained a bodyguard and moved to a more secure, yet more constrained life, with restricted movement and constant security considerations, but I also lost some spontaneity and independence.
