  • I searched extensively for "good news."

    Thank you for lighting a candle in the darkness for me & friends I recommended this podcast too.

    My only caveat would be that several minutes in a row a advertising & recommendations for other shows (Banned Camp) negatively cut into the otherwise good experience. Luckily I have learned how to time skipping ahead to restarts points in the podcast itself.

    So far I have listened to some of the under-15-minutes episodes. But have yet to dive into the hour-plus format shows, which I will try.

    I love the format of the shorter shows. Interesting, informative, and succinct.

    To the show creators: Do you realize you have labeled the entire show as containing Explicit Content when that is not the case? The shorter (regular?) version does not contain any language or content that I found to be explicit.*
