Great
Double for the whole family fun weekend
This was a great show while it lasted!
What happened to season two? This was a great podcast, and I especially like that the host called an expert on the topic, which helps this podcast be more informative.
The bottom line: If you want to learn some home-improvement topics, this is a good podcast. If you want something that is updated regularly, look elsewhere.
Left hanging…
Podcast was a great 1st season… what happened? Season 2 should be in mid season form by this point. Please put out more content. Thanks
