The New Podcast

Sorry Dan. Won’t be listening to the new podcast. Not interested in listening to a religious person no matter their level of education. However, that’s just me. I wish you success with it.

Awesome

The best show in my podcast list, funny, informative and most of all honest with their listeners. My Sunday morning is not complete until I listen to these two dissect the news from religious sites all round the world.
Keep it up guys the world needs your honest take on religious matters. John from Nambour Queensland Australia.
