Customer Reviews
My name is Daniel Erickson
No, I do not have a microphone myself. I do my best to shout across the east river into Brooklyn (Andrew lives beyond the sunset), and if the audio quality is sometimes less than ideal, maybe try living in the real world sometimes, the world where bridges live?
I give myself two stars and Andrew four stars.
On average I give the podcast five stars and listen to it every week it appears.
Love and solidarity,
The ear of Daniel Erickson.
