  • Fantastic

    One of the best, most original podcasts currently available.

  • Actual advice: do listen

    Third phase~ you got me friend. Quite a story. Well done.

    Ok, been picking at your feed for a while and I’m just talking myself down now from Dave Stewart, but I’ve just realized I’ve changed my mind and will probably just jump. Or I’ll wait for the prequel, not sure. Fine work.
