  • How have I only just found this

    Hey James from Jenkum Revolt in the UK here. I have been following Keith and Iodine for over a decade, how have I only just discovered this pod?

    Anyway, found it through Love Letter, listened to the interview with Quinn and was welling up by half an hour. Such a laid back interviewer, great format and I am so excited to keep listening to more.
