Sick and Tired of You ,

I love this podcast! I highly recommend it to everyone. Extremely interesting!

This podcast is wonderful. I have had my own odd experiences, though different from Father Nathan’s. It’s remarkable how creative our creator is. This podcast is comforting and helps to make sense of my own experiences. Thank you Father Nathan!
