Customer Reviews
Best Podcast Ever?
Yes!
I]help my first review sounded angry and I can’t replace it
THe most underappreciated podcast of all time. The Dana Carvey Show of podcasts. The “Get a Life” (the show not the angry paternal admonition) of podcasts. The High Anxiety of podcasts. The Camelot (the musical not the….legendary castle in England?…or the Kennedy administration both of which are still fairly well appreciated).
Only a pity I’ve discovered it so late
Finally, I can find out what Plato and Glaucon were really up to, and get L Frank Baum’s take on the movie. Fantastic. It’s a finite supply, so take your time maybe? Or don’t, who am I to tell you how to live. I’m just a stranger reviewing a defunct podcast.
