Customer Reviews
Best podcast ever
I’m a long time listener of this podcast. Content is always fresh and interesting with amazing sound design and presentation. Highly recommended!
Starting to get painfully boring.
Stop gaslighting us if you have nothing to say say nothing at all but don’t try and convince us that an hour long monotone drone is somehow interesting.
Completely off topic these days and just stretching.
Sometimes it’s better to the end a show before it declines
Love this pod.
I often relisten to episodes and always catch things missed the first time around
Can you do an episode on Signage i.e. street signs and the power/authority they have.
