ive only listened to a couple of episodes so far, but i reached a point where i decided firmly that i liked it, and planned to subscribe. was extremely bummed to realize they werent still going, i was excited to see what all they had done. oh well, i’ll be going through the backlog! best murderbot review on itunes, thats for sure
i am not one of the three
Unlike the only other reviewer, I am an anonymous fellow who loves this podcast 5-stars much.
(Full disclosure, I am friends with two hosts. The third is missing out on my awesomeness.)
Amazing
My favorite scifi, fantasy and speculative fiction book podcast
