Rest In Peace Phil Valentine. You were one of the best on radio.
lmao the freaking episode art
Another great episode, makes me think of Alfred the Great. which bring to mind a episode topic....Books and their movie version. I am reading a series, The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell which has a Netflix series. As usual, they are so very different. like distant cousins or something. Keep the great episodes coming!!!!
I love your show!! I've listened (or tried to...) other podcasts and they just don't compare. I love fun unknown quirky history facts and think that would be a great topic to hear y'all's thoughts on.
You guys are a total HOOT! I gave podGOATS a listen after hearing Phil mention it on the radio and began binging shortly after. Campbell has got a real head on his shoulders. I'm seriously impressed... and Hooked. Still can't bring myself to buy those diamond gusset jeans just yet though. keep it up!
