Customer Reviews
Excellent
I don’t know what Chris’ political persuasions are. A rare quality for a podcaster of this type.
Not a fan of Carl Benjamin
A little deflated after listening to the podcast with Carl, we can’t beat statistics so I might as well get a couple of cats now and call it a day however it was his attitude and anger, felt it was rather negative for a woman to listen too
StarKnocked off…
Not enough female voices.
