Been meaning for a while to let you both know how much I enjoy your show. I think the key attraction for me is that you both make an effort to give as honest an assessment of your subject matter as you can. The fact this is supported with much relevant experience means your delivery is logical, amusing and informative.
Many an excruciatingly boring job on a slot machine has been alleviated by your banter on back issues of your program. I know you guys don’t make a lot of money out of this so be assured your efforts are appreciated.
Love you guys.
