Lost this podcast and now so happy I found it!

I loved this podcast years and years ago but with phone changes and such, I lost it. Recently I heard Ron on Jim Harrolds campfire and was so happy to find the podcast again! I have quite a backlog to get through and I’m so happy ❤️thanks!

A joyful find

Thank you for great story telling . Your delivery is excellent.
I love the humor to the macabre. Making me laugh, smile, and hold my rapt attention.
Your voice is fantastic- yes, “ chill”.
Kudos to you for honoring JIM Harold. I found you via his podcast,
And another thank you for doing your own commercials...it keeps the continuity of the show flowing without audio distraction.
Sylvia Shults is a pleasure to hear, too.
Grateful you’re sensitive to the fact that your listeners are of wide range of ages- your language is clean. So appreciate it.
