  • Stop so many ads

    Please stop “some” of the ads. I get making a living but a 30 min podcast having that many ads is crazy sauce. Maybe you should do an ad selling that too. By the looks of the other comments I am not alone in feeling this way.

  • Where would I be without you?

    Wandering around dazed and confused is what I’d be.

    But with you to shine a light across the miasma of human existence I bump into fewer things.

    I give thanks.

Their stories always have me sitting on the edge of my seat, so to speak, although I’m always taking a walk while listening. It’s my little vacation from life when I am listening to them. I have so many relatable stories that I want to share someday. Lots of boo effects as well. Love them both and thank you for being there for me and many other p... more
