Shout Out

A page-turner of a podcast If this podcast were a book, it would be a NY Times bestseller. It has a clear, distinctive voice (two, in fact). Well-rounded main characters. A solid structure without a saggy middle (unless you ask Al, who may suggest skimming through Word of the Week). And it challenges me to think differently. When I get to the end, I can’t wait to go back into that world again. Highly recommend! lydchar from Australia
