  • One of the best

    Been listening for years now but never left review. I’ve learned of many stories and people I knew nothing about with fun, dark, detailed, honest, and lighthearted approach to storytelling. With well over 450+ episodes and counting, he always surprises me on coming up with a new story to tell. You won’t be disappointed.
