Mae of Green Gay-bles ,

So excited my faves are back!!

I really wanted to title this with just ‘AAHHHHHH!!’ But I restrained myself. Sort of. So excited my favourite trio are back with their excellent opinions, thoughtful discussions and delightfully silly nonsense about all the things I love. Sit back and enjoy this pod with not just incredibly experienced and clever hosts but lovely humans as well. Their previous work got me through hard times and it’s always first on my listen list. Will forever follow y’all from Westeros to mystery island jungles and beyond.
