Truly the best podcast I have listened to in a very very long time. Found Alexei from his guest spot on the Free to a Good Home podcast, and he’s even better in this.
If you’re reading reviews, stop and just listen to the show, it’s great.
Lex and Cam, if you guys read these reviews, please make some merch. I will buy some for sure.

Funny, interesting and because of these two I ended up reading book reviews on Good Reads. Which sound longer than the Drago book.
Hope they keep podcasting!
