I really enjoyed listen to the genius of Phil’s writing. I’m a first time listener and I think I will go back and listen to some of the older episodes.

Thanks for listening. Just as a warning some of the older episodes are a little unfocused and we are explicit at times. Episode 9 is where we get a little more focused but there is some good content in the other episodes depending on your tastes.
