  • Love it, Longer Episodes?

    I’ve been listening for the last few weeks every day and I’m afraid I’m gonna devour the entire catalogue and not have anything left to listen to! 😂 I would love some 20 - 30 minute segments! I love listening to Thando, the laughs between hosts and the commentary from the callers! Great job guys! Keep it coming! Listening from Washington DC!
