Finally found where I could rate and review this podcast. Never did find it on the Apple App Store

This is an outstanding podcast. I learn something every time I listen. There are various subjects, some of which don’t interest me, but the ones that do, or the ones that sound interesting are GREAT.

If it were easier to review this product there’d be lots more reviews.
