  • Happy 5th Anniversary

    This is my first podcast review ever. I listen to about 13 podcasts on various topics and these two ladies are in my top 5 favorites.

    I discovered them while listening to Astonishing Legends.

    This NP after Dark podcast then led me to discover Tooth& Claw.

    All great podcasts, but I digress.

    I like how they really do their homework and make it interesting to keep listening.

    The journeys they go on and invite others to join them.

    It’s pretty telling when you have only been podcasting for five... more
