  • Great Serial

    Whilst a well written story the background scenery sound tends to drown out the dialogue.

  • Nothing like this anywhere

  • King of pods!

    King of the Ring is a creative idea in the world of wrestiling podcasts. I'd never quite seen anything like it but I had a great time hearing the story of Wrestiling Wars.
