  • Enjoyed the podcast the first time around for free

    Excellent podcast and listened to this when it was first released for free a few years back. Not sure why old podcasts are rebranded as “new” except for the fact that the rebranded podcasts are subscription based. My advice: listen to podcasts that may interest you sooner (and free) before they turn into money grabs. With this economy, I know that paying for podcasts is not part of my budget. Wikipedia entries describing everything in this podcast is a great alternative.
