  • New to the podcast

    New to the podcast. Found out about it on “While the Rest of Us Die” series. This is exactly what I was looking for. While other pods just complain or make fun of whom and what they do, this pod gives the truth and knowledge we need to navigate through the noise.

  • Great show but in mono

    I love the show, and I love the shorter more frequent shows. But after the music, your voice is in mono, I.e. you’re playing in only one speaker while you’re talking. The music on your show is in stereo.
