I am SO GLAD about this. The podcast review world is SO lucky to have you Ben.

Icy as shit out there. Anybody got Vermont road reports on here? Is there a Vermont weather contingent I don't know about yet? Where o where is Matt Sutkowski?

I love you guys a LOT. Also live in VT and wish you'd be less tone deaf about rural life. Some people drink raw milk, including farmers. It's not 'gross'. Eating bear is not weird. You can go to game suppers up here comprised entirely of road kill.Again. Respect. But get curious about rural life.

Thank you so much Alia

Thank you Kalli!
