It's unbelievable!

It's Roach! It's Friday and we pod on the Casp of History. I don't know if you've heard.

55 years of hurt could be healed this Sunday, a Eurost title for England for Bulling Arnicka.

Feels increasingly evident that all it took for England to defang decades of trauma was for me Roach to write a book about my love of America that ended up number one on the New York Times bestseller list.
