They allow people to write reviews for their own podcast! Once, anyway. So needless to say this one gets the full 5 stars from this guy. These kids really have their act together! I’m saying that with only a trailer posted so far, but I have inside info about the next few episodes and WHOOO boy there’s some good stuff a-comin. Stay tuned!
