This is an excellent podcast. I really enjoy these episodes. I wish the sound quality were a little better, though.
Thank you Steven & Dr. Fleming! Please, more podcasts!!
Mr Droney/Mr Moran – thanks for the kind words. We are working on the sound quality as Dr. Fleming and I create routines around these. Please be patient with us! 🙂
