We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Ex... more

  • Great Show

    I really like this show, the hosts are hilarious and informative. What I liked was it was obvious they had read the book they were talking about with the author. Many times, hosts don’t have time or effort to actually read the books. These guys were professional, had great questions and were easy to follow.
