Fantastic podcast - well written and performed. It pains me to look at the uneven doorway on this thumbnail - that's my only piece of criticism. 😋

The movie (and book by Scott Smith) David mention is The Ruins

Absolutely fantastic episode as always the story sound and acting was top notch and really got me but i wouldn't expect anything else from the wonderful team at shadows ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I feel like the honeymoon phase exists in the sense that a lot of relationships start at "this is nice. I want this. we have to be together", but initially lack the dimension of "we will need to work on this relationship and work to make it a relationship that's right for us" that inevitably has to be there it's a myth in so far as "you will grow tired of the person you love, but you can't expect to really feel that love forever, you'll have to settle for just getting along" is nonsense
QueenCam
This was awesome if you just need to hear David Ault rapping lol but seriously you can't go wrong with Ault and Sanderson with a sprinkle of Karim?! All the yes. Do yourself a favor and listen with headphones. The soundscape is wonderfully done. It's a great story as well, and the chat after was hilarious lol Well done guys!
