  • Love it!

    Stumbled across the pod while browsing, have become addicted and have binge listened all episodes.

    Easy listening, informative and enjoyable listen. The relationship between you is the icing on the cake and enhances the whole shebang.

    I'm used to listening to 7 episodes a week now, so if you would be good enough to record one a day that would mean I don't have to go cold turkey with one a fortnight.

    Keep up your most excellent work

    Cheers
