    Podcast is even more awesome then when it started in 2013! Love this one ! -GeneEverett

    Left last review many years back. Just wanted to say it’s still amazing! Started listening episode 7 or 8 and now well past 300🤟

    Now that updated review is many years old too! Man time flies by! Mike’s podcast still going strong! I do miss the two hour plus conversations from early on, but it’s still a great weekly podcast!

    Probably should have been named the Herrera Era but maybe Mike can still change it.
