Thanks so much for the critically important work you do, especially at this pivotal time. I’ve become a new member and will be tuning in more!
That last episode on 6 May was more like a soliloquy. You have three people on the show, give everyone some time to speak, particularly Annabelle who hardly gets a word in.
In an increasingly hellish environment (earth) we need work like this to keep us engaged and informed. Y’all are great keep up the good work
Love these guys, critical thinking with a dose of reality and humour. They’ve become like best friends who’d I love to have around the dinner table!
Love this podcast. All three presenters say it like it is. Ben’s contribution would be improved by saying it more succinctly. Otherwise, well worth a listen
