    Four years in and I’m still avidly consuming all the content these two wonderful chaps produce.

    They keep digging up little nuggets that map out the terrain , and theories around it , in a marvellous and entertaining way.

    Every day is a school day.

    Thanks for all your hard work and I hope this review helps beat the online suppression of this knowledge .

    These two guys are such kind-sounding humans. They ask great questions. I love listening to them crack each other up in the afterparty. I feel like they are likeminded friends I haven’t met yet.
