  • Thank you

    I’ve listened to pretty much every episode and fallen asleep nearly every time. My favorite is the one about witches A++++++++++++.

    Please get Hannah Frye. I really want her to explain stuff in her calm voice while I nod off into dream land.

    Long-time listener, but my excitement for the Bridger Winegar episode spurred me from my relaxed state to write a review. These two exchanging wits in a calm state…HEAVEN. And of course Bridger understands the assignment.
