I’ve never reviewed a podcast without listening to a full episode…until today. I tried a crossover episode featured on Very Special Episodes thinking this would be similar.

The hosts have great energy. They’re real bright, witty and they do their research: I’m always tasking while I listen to podcasts but RC holds my interest - if what I’m doing distracts me from a bit of information I rewind to not miss the flow of information. I always learn new stuff while being consistently entertained. Thanks, you two!
Apple Podcasts5mangohappinessUnited States2 months ago Long time listener first time reviewer. For the record, there are at least 2 movies dealing with the high stakes World of...racing pigeon stealing. "Little Wing" (2024) in which a 13 year old girl plots to steal a racing pigeon. I think she gets tied up with, words i never 5hiught id say together, the Pigeon Mafia. Also a 2018 Turkish drama called "The Pigeon Thieves" where a teen makes a loving stealing and breeding prize pigeons.
