  • Love the show!

    I’ve been a Bramblejam listener for years, and was sad when History or His Story ended. I’m so glad it got new life on your radio show. This show is such a fun listen to play along with. It’s now one of my favorite podcasts. Admittedly, I thought A.T. and Wally Edge were AI voices of yours for a while, before I realized they were real people. But I’ve become a big fan of them, as well. I’m still not 100% A.T. is an actual human, but he’s so much fun anytime he’s on this or the Diss List.
