Gotta love a podcast that thinks drug use and human sacrifice is fine, but has to TW guns and release "firearm -free" versions of episodes. Excellent priorities team!

Good start - but it has so many ideas going on that it barely explores. And the "bad guys" are cartoonish. No drive. Just bad people.
