GlitterSoul ,

Great work!

Been following the your channel for some time now and this is a valuable add. Just finished the first season on Pitcairn Island and can’t wait to listen to the second! Keep up the great work!

He can do anything

His YouTube channel already provided incredible content with a very high upload frequency. This quality made me discover podcast, and I’m not disappointed: Sam can choose words wisely and deliver them in the most beautiful way.

Finally a Wendover we can listen to while commuting!

My favourite youtube channel now is also a podcast. Yay!
