To Karl
Thank you Karl and Lucy
Dr Karl - you’re a national treasure!
Thank you for educating me week to week Dr Karl and the Triple J fam. I’ve been listening for years and years now and often bring up random Dr Karl facts in my daily life.
The best podcast to drift off to sleep. Lots of love to Professor Clare Collins also who is a favourite on the show as well.
Keep doing what you’re doing 🙂 ✨
