Like chatting with friends

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast and have for years. It’s like chatting with friends (none of mine watch or stopped watching years ago because it’s too much). They are right- it does help to talk about it. And I love that they pick up on so much I miss. Keep up the excellent work and I look forward to hearing you all again for season 6.
