"In case you hadn't already guessed, he was black." No, I hadn't "already guessed" he was black, just like I hadn't "already guessed" that this podcaster was a freaking racist. But now I know and now I'm done.

Bobby’s reveal was the ultimate gut punch. I haven’t felt a an adrenaline fear-surge outside of real life until this one. Holy cow!

This episode is a work of art. Mike did a phenomenal job illustrating the mind of someone diving into the deepest, darkest parts of their psyche. The plot twist ending was pulled off perfectly. I enjoy all of your content but this stands out to me. Exceptional writing. Bravo!
