  • An informative podcast.

    This podcast was a high quality production of what is indeed an intensely boring subject, I typically spend my time sitting in a classroom with some very loud friends rolling a hot wheels car it’s a Lego chicken called terry down the desk to one of my friends but this has been an enjoyable experience with a sentence about the premiere league being cancelled witch would be a dream come true since I hate football, so five stars from me
