  • Noooooo!

    Sad to see the Pod go away, wish Dan, even though he can be a bit much at times, and Lesley would produce one independently and keep it going… unfortunately the farewell episode I do not believe loaded correctly so it cut off at the 21 Minute mark. Let’s hope we get more as it’s the best source for industry info available.
