    Thought I was in for a treat but the Mushishi section was dreadful. Mushi are the "creatures" & Mushishi is Ginko.

    I wont go further but please if you review something at least try to understand it first.

    I've listened to about half of these podcasts so far in the last 3 days, but I'm planning to listen to all of them! Quickly turning into a fan of Xan, but wondering why the podcasts stopped in April...? I download these and listen to them at work, makes my day a lot easier, so I hope it's not finished!!!
