  • Can’t believe it took me this long to find you!

    I literally cannot think of a single thing to say negative about this podcast. Narration = perfect. Production = perfect. After the first season of subjects that have been covered by way too many other podcast? The remaining seasons = perfect. I love everything about this show even the way they don’t stick ads in your face in the middle of it. I hope very much it lives long and prosperous.
