Probably my favorite Podcast

This may be my favorite podcast ever, and I listen to more than you! Each day I pick one podcast to listen to and then I share it to my tens of twitter followers and rate it on iTunes. This show was recommended to my by Josh Halmark of Our Americana and it was a perfect fit. It left me wanting so much more and I look forward to whatever Daniel does next. I dont know what was real and what was not, but this show was a work of Art. You are doing yourself a disservice if you dont check it out! If you are into Audio Drama, Please check out my show, Breakers Podcast or my pop cultureish looking into the ViewAskiewniverse show Do It Doug! If you wnt me to listen and review your show, you can find me on FB at Podcasts We listen To every night! Pod On!
