Started listening a few months ago after reading a book that I just HAD to hear someone else talk about (Murakami, surprise surprise). I couldn’t be happier that there’s over 600 episodes of these crazy-cool dads chatting and goofing - have been absolutely churning through the show since, while cooking or working or whatever. Fully recommend! :) It’s also great for making my books-to-read list even longer. I wonder if there’s many other Overdue listeners in NZ…?
Tnx!
