Customer Reviews
Prestige Trek archeology/anthropology!!!!
One of the best podcasts out there. How lucky we are to have these discussions with these guests for forever now!!! Larry, you are AMAZING!!!!!
Good content but unlistenable
The extent to which the start of so many sentences is cut off by the recording method is torture.
Love it
This is exactly what I had hoped they would do when rod would bring in documents to mission log. This is a great podcast archiving those small details that made this thing we love.
