Customer Reviews
Awesome bench time buddies
This is a fantastic podcast to have going working at the hobby bench. The banter makes it feel like I’m tossing a brew back with the boys in the hobby club even when Im alone at the bench. Excellent stuff. Amazing interviews as well, deep diving into some really interesting topics.
Almost lost a star for Chris’s terrible dad joke about submarines being displayed under the normal ship display, earned the star back with Tracy’s excellent taste in metal.
MobilityChair
The podcast has gone down hill. They need to overhaul their cast. Pattison should be replaced. Someone less overbearing and self righteous.
It’s woke
Podcast has to many men. It would be great to get some diversity.
