Hi,
I wanted to find a place to comment and thank you guys for all your work.
This was one of the first audio stories I listened to here, and it got me hooked.
I listen to these mostly when I'm working. It's not a particularly fun or fulfilling job, and sometimes I wonder if I'm ever going to find a way out lol. But, your podcasts keep me dreaming.
Thanks
