  • Crew fan

    As a die hard Crew fan, this is an awesome pod. However, please get into a rhythm. I understand you are all busy, but there has not been a podcast in so long, and I miss the show! That is the only reason this is not a five star review.

    If I could say one thing about the Speakeasy, which I can and I will, it would be something to do with the fact that it is a podcast that exists and, since it’s inception, has consistently not not existed over and over again. You have to respect the ambition.
