Come on Danny, get out of the FedEx truck and make more shows.
Hits the ground running
I'm a pretty prolific podcast listener. I'm currently subscribed to over 50, so it really means something that this show is in my top ten. There's a little need for polish, particularly in the first two episodes, but that's to be expected from new podcasters. I really like it, so I'm a little scared of the unannounced hiatus. What's up with that, guys? I need this, so get your poop in a group.
