Excellent Podcast

This is a great podcast. I have enjoyed this podcast as much as any that I’ve ever listened too. I discovered the podcast a few days ago and have ate up most of the interviews already. I have just one more episode to listen to and that is actually the very first episode. I appreciate the great history that is discussed in this podcast. I’ve learned a lot as well as going down memory lane myself. All of the hosts are, and I love Mateen’s spirit. I usually don’t take the time to write review but I have to leave you all a message for bringing these great stories to us!
