Just found you guys and I’m flying through it! Keep up the great work. Love your chemistry

One star for being too cute four more for being awesome

It’s the strangest thing, as both a Christian and a conservative I have found a decent portion of my belief system taken to task in this podcast; yet, these two can banter with the best of them. I rarely anticipate the release of a podcast but I do this one. Rachel does a great job with the research and tells the story well and David’s witty banter and insight is great. I’d love to have a beer with these two. Keep it up!

You guys rock
