Helpful

As a future recruit (hopefully), I am enjoying this. A lot of helpful information I’m hearing. Information I wanted to know and a lot I didn’t know I needed as well.

First listen

I just finished my first episode of this show, #81, and absolutely loved it. If this is the norm, I’m hooked already.
