  • Love It!

    Each episode informative, entertaining, on point with a smooth flow, and encapsulated within the subject, but transitional within the podcast series.

  • Postgate on Acid💪🏼

    Higgsie delivers this right royal podfest is like an earful of Oliver Postgate on Acid: Peaks are unsettling, lasts an awfully long time, but time in its self is meaningless, very pleasant when the intensity ebbs away…things will never be quite the same ever again. Ever.
