Great Podcast

This was a great podcast! I binged listen to the whole thing in 2 days. I actually was disappointed when I finished because there wasn’t more. Highly recommend this to everyone one.

Great

If you don’t go to Vegas but want a window into that world…this is it. Very entertaining, one in a million story.

Great Story

If a podcast can’t catch my attention in the first 90seconds I don’t waste my time. But the narrator instantly caught my attention and this was definitely a great story/good listen
