Please do NOT post as a review (even though I love the podcast).

Have checked frequently for a new episode of this podcast and wondered what had happened. I enjoy the perspective from these professionals as they are speaking from actual on the ground experience with the locations, people and events.
Apple Podcasts4kimmilybimmilyUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Vapid, humdrum theatre

I listen every week. I would prefer to watch on YouTube but the episodes take too long to load and I like to listen on the day of release.
Both journalists are very insightful and give important in depth information.
