Outlandish propaganda

I will give this podcast a 5 star rating, but only because of the fact that it helps to further the legend of the prolific and enigmatic writer Todd Noy. When I found Drago: On Mountains We Stand tattered and coverless, partially buried in the sand, on the shores of Newfoundland, I was consumed by it. Don’t believe the baseless claims of this podcast. Whoever this David person is, he is certainly not the TODD NOY. It is unfortunate that the seemingly very sharp hosts of this podcast have been taken in by this charlatan. As I write this I stand at the unmarked grave of Quince Noy, who met his end in a tragic water skiing mishap in Barbados. We, the true fans of Noy, will keep the torch burning, always.

WOW

Sweet Jesus, this podcast Is fantastic. It’s like missing Richard Simons or tickled but lower stakes, but that is not a knock against it. On the contrary , the lack of a clear motive /benefit makes me only more intrigued . Cranked out the first 4 back to back. Must listen show !
