  • I’d listen to these guys talking about paint dry

    I’ve been listening to Scott and Matt since the start of The Kingcast. I was thrilled to follow them over to Flanagans Wake. Incisive, witty and fascinating they make my Thursdays. The Doofcast is pretty cool too.

But since the fascists at Audible don’t allow ratings in the thousands, I had to settle for 5 stars. Podcasts wher... more
