  • Hurts me to say

    Long time listener but Season 7 has been a total disappointment. No great information revealed in any of the new episodes.

    It may be time for a new topic.

If others are willing to support/pay him for episodes and a podcast that has clearly lost its way, what’s the incentive to produce any... more
