    Here is a podcast! It’s a podcast like many others, in that it is a lot of blathering and aimlessness and general silliness.

Who could dare not listen?! Listen, as you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something?

You can tell us all about it on our Substack, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
