  • Emotional!

    I love this show and never miss an episode but the latest one (ep. 327) had my husband and I in pieces! It was so emotional. I love to hear about the lighthouse infrastructure but the human element to the episodes gives an extra, human dimension, bringing it all to life. Thank you!

  • Climate change

    Climate change is a religion, it cannot be proven by any science I know of. Better to stick to lighthouse podcasts. The episode with Sally Snowman was a very dark episode. Not really in keeping with shinning a light. The occult is not a good subject to feature. It’s not surprising it was accidentally erased. You should have kept it erased and forgotten.
