Phenomenal

This pod is one of the most professional and well researched podcasts, not only in its genre, but across the podcast spectrum. Well done good sir, extraordinarily well done.

Love his voice, very through, and loves subtitled programs as much as I do!

I have a meeting to write a review for you for a long time now !! Thank you so for putting out such a wonderful and informative podcast – and not just because I’m from Ohio! You can tell there’s lots of research put into each episode, you’re very thorough, and you have a great voice. I can tell you’re getting better with every episode-and I’ve been here since the beginning.

Also, I just wanted to let you know that you have a kindred spirit somewhere in Ohio! I too watch all my programs(even YouTube) with the subtitles on and the volume turned up! lol. My sister said it must be something to do with my mind being visually stimulated/kept busy, and my ADHD brain. Anyway, thanks again for the great podcast!

usmona ,

Awesome stories!

The voice, the content, everything is just A+++. Highly recommend!
