  • Cannot praise enough - EHG is the GOAT for me

    Listened to Tara, Sarah and Dave for a decade in the US. Moved to UK and had to resubscribe. Théy are my US lifeline and bring me joy all the time. I have littke TV access (or money for it) but I know what to watch because of them. But mostly listening to them is my absolute entertainment. Subscribe, get the extras, and listen to all past eps - you will not regret!!
