Wow I must say that the latest podcast was/is the best I’ve ever heard on this sight. ( Well next to the Siberian Nightmare episode…or the Year In Europe folks…well they’re all pretty good.) The chemistry, for lack of a better word, between you and your guest was extrordinary! I really, really enjoyed it. I wonder if you can have him back soon?
