    Thanks for a great podcast, Andrew. Chat with Simon was amazing. I agree with him that you should have to put your name to it. Course these cowards would prob put micky mouse as a name which demeans Micky, who tho a mouse, has much more of a back bone.

    Keep up the good work 👍

    I really wanted to listen to the most recent podcast but as much as I like hearing what Shaun Atwood says, his voice and his vocal expression unnerves me. It’s not relaxing or easy to listen to. Yes his content is superb!! I wish he’d tone down the vocals 😥
