Quite simply - my favorite podcast ever. Hope these talented fellows do another podcast soon

Me and the gang were really hoping we get a live anthology 4 recap and review.
I still donāt know how they keep enough stuff held back. I really enjoyed episode nine Iāve never seen that footage of the three of them at Abbey Road.
Hope all is well you guys rock
