Devastated it’s over!

Have just finished binge listening to all of these episodes and absolutely devastated that there aren’t going to be anymore! I learnt so much and really enjoyed the dynamic between the two, they often have different opinions and discuss their viewpoints respectfully. Such a shame there are no more!
