I’m Dutch, listening to you from Amsterdam. Love this show. Thanks so much for making it and offering it here for free!! Have been listening for quite a while now and thought I’d let the world know what a great podcast this is. Also, I like the music. Particularly the song at the end of the recent doomsday episode with the eighties kind of electronic vibe was a great fit for the subject.

Is there anything you yanks won’t buy? Dig up that ole Onion satire of Dominio’s realizing they just had to dump pizza slurry into a branded feedbag and all y’all would chow on down.. yipes!
