- A moment of clarity
I’ve been listening to you guys for a while (not long enough tbf) but I’m compelled to write a review because I’ve just what I didn’t realise I needed to hear for the last X number of months…. Amy’s summary of where we’re at as a club was absolutely perfect! And it was followed by Ian’s expression of how I and many other supporters feel right now. Congrats on a brilliant podcast in so many ways.
