  • We are looking for an audio version of TDS, not replays of old behind the scenes

    I recently read a post about this and after 2-3 non-TDS podcasts, I’m out too…

    I do follow on YouTube, but a podcast/audio version of the broadcast show would be great.

    Maybe I have to subscribe to get that?

    Best wishes,

    Thank you for all you do on the show, everyone!

    Sincerely,

    Long time fan (from the late 90’s)
