  • Great podcast

    Damien lane puts a very professional touch to a brilliant production in which each episode is weaved to the next episode with such brilliant oration only a master narrator can accomplish , I couldn’t help but wait for Damien to start singing “diddly di do diddly diddly do… welcome to the cabaret”, a true Christy Moore sound-a-like at times 😉👌🏻, But in all seriousness I truly enjoyed this podcast, bravo.
