Really enjoyed the show, wish it was still in production. Jackson was great but also enjoyed many of the others that cycled through early on.
Love this podcast but why no updates any more?

Listening this podcast for almost two years. Enjoyed a lot. No new episodes since April 28th. What happened there? Can we expect a return? Really miss the podcast!
