  • Great podcast

    Sir you have a great voice and absolutely devoured this stories. I am sorry to hear about your loss I just lost my mother on the 1st with Dolly and Tim, condolences. I do like to think that there might have been a chance that my mother read some of these when they where released. But she was more of a huge fan of Agatha Christie. I can distinctly remember watching every episode of the great Hercule Poirot.
