  • He just keeps on Truckin!

    Been listening to the Deadpod for years and I have to say that this podcast is simply a hidden gem that needs to be heard by more!

    The professor has never let me down with his handpicked sets and I have to note, I’ve never heard the same set twice and they are usually sets I had never heard anywhere else.

    Thank you so much for all you do and I hope to donate to your cause someday.

  • Where did the episodes go?

    I had looked forward to several years of enjoying a new episode every day. Suddenly 13 years of episodes are gone; and the many shows before 2006 were never in my feed. I checked for a “donate” button or “contact us” button but none of several websites had one. Unfortunately, it appears a review is my only way to contact the professor.
