    I love this podcast; it’s my favorite and I listen to quite a few. Nick & Leah are so great together. The world is wild with people who were raised by wolves, or at least act like it. Nick & Leah do a lot to make the world a little less feral. ♥️♥️♥️

    Love the hosts’ dynamic. Only detractor is the ad breaks. Wish I could afford the ad-free option.
