I love Sword and Laser

I love Sword and Laser, my friend introduced it to me when you started your video show, when that ended I switched to the podcast and have been listening from around episode 100. I have read a few book you have spoken about (Dragonflight, into the the series now. The Martian, VN) to name a few. Keep up the great work you do, and I hope your show never ends. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
