It’s only episode 2 but this series is incredible.
Come back SOON
I discovered this podcast two months ago and have listened to all the episodes going back to 2015, many of them two or three times. Great podcast. Informative, funny, heart-wrenching and challenging stories. Really looking forward to the next season.
