    Love this podcast, lately above even ATP. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I once was annoyed by Merlin’s incessant interruptions (he talks over John’s every third sentence) but have since realized that’s the show’s schtick. An alternate name for this podcast could be <<unintelligible crosstalk>>. Minus one star. 🙃

    Can only listen in my more patience moments. 🙂
