Tom& Veronica,

Just started listening & rather enjoying the show. Still catching up on a few back episodes to get the feel of things and somewhat shockingly found you scoring easy laughs at the expense of my nation’s heritage … yes, I’m Australian.

GREAT WORK!! Love a little mongrel on my podcasters.

Great content on the sci-fi and fantasy genre(s), too.

Thanks guys!

Charlie C
