And I suppose that this will be around the same time that Red Vines become a...”Read full review »

“These guys are great. I recommend reading a couple chapters ahead and then listening to the episode as not only will it provide the insights which you may have missed, but it will also help you remember and identify details you may have thought unimportant and skimmed over.
An absolute must for...”Read full review »
