  • Fantastic, but not for kids

    Great podcast with fantastic hosts and lots of interesting discussions. Be warned though it’s not for kids, despite Steve’s involvement, as many of the episodes have sexual content. A parent advisory at the beginning of the episodes would be the responsible thing to do.
