Keith

I didn’t know that I desperately needed to hear the dulcet-tones of Keith Morrison say “Bawitaba”.

Izuy keenso ,

Amazing!

Very well paced with unexpected twists. The life along narration and introduction to knew people is very well placed. Awesome! 10/10 would recommend!

Muscley ,

Engaging!

I liked the pace of this one and didn’t find it as bloated as some of their other ones (Murder and Magnolias is just terrible for that). Cool podcast and recommended.
