Customer Reviews
It’s the best
I am all the way in New Zealand and I find it sooo interest and I love your guys podcast, Keep up the good work!
Not much insight to be gained here
2 old pompous has-beens discussing the taste and smell of each other’s farts.
An intelligent listen
This is one of the best podcast I have listened to. I love the intellectual banter and the different perspectives. I live in New Zealand and still find the conversation riveting.
