Very nice

This podcast is very well done, and I have inspiration (get it?) each episode because of your guys’ commitment. It is very playful and gives me a smile every time I listen. Thank you all!

This is a really fun concept! New characters are always fun and talking about strange new custom creations just is always a blast. Keep up the good work, and keep coming up with awesome ideas!
