Just Engaging
I couldn’t help but binge the whole thing. Just a fascinating story.
Quite entertaining
I was put off by the voice used for commentary at the end of each episode as well as the repetitive and long recap at the beginning of each episode. That said, this is a very entertaining podcast. Good job. Please continue your work.
A fantastic binge
Great story telling.
