Wow!

I’m not sure how the ratings are not a 5/5. This is a fantastic podcast. It keeps you up to date on current events, they interview knowledgeable people and reporters are in the areas and interviewing people all the time. I love the humor and the puns in the titles. Oh, and of course, who couldn’t love Brad. Keep up the great work everyone. I look forward to it everyday.
