- Returning listener
Just returned to the podcast when the new episode dropped a few days ago. Listened to the three part Nick Launey pod - what a generous guest. Fascinating stuff from a brilliant bloke. My only quibble - conflating 'England' with 'Great Britain' or the 'UK'. Drives me mad. From Cardiff, old south Wales

United Kingdom9 months ago - Going back to this well
So fun to listen now many years after this project launched. Still fresh and enjoyable to hear the reviews, reflections, and thoughtful discussions. Hoping the boys gather again to close the series out with a review of the Oils’ final contributions both new, and the box sets.
But, even if this closure not to be, it doesn’t take away at all from what these two Canadians achieved in this not-so short run podcast.
Gen X peak middle aged work here.
