  • Love this pod

    I guess I’m biased as a guest but Paul is a great host and this podcast is a terrific listen. The fact that we recorded for as long as we did and it ended up feeling like no time had gone by speaks volumes about the show. Listen to my episode (#56) and check out the catalog too!
