What a finale.
This is the most insane podcast I've listened to all year.
An excellent investigation but I am not sure either of those gentlemen are erudite enough or have the charisma to influence and weaponise the vagrants of the world to spread the word of Todd Noy
absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I was distraught when it was all over. loved every minute.
This is the most bizarre pod I've ever listened to. I love it!
This was epic
This is incredible stuff 😍
This is gripping stuff, will it be made into a Netflix special or mini series? I've still to locate my copy of on mountains we stand, it's in a storage box somewhere, #classicNoy.
