Summary
When you really think about it, there are lots of sounds you used to hear 30 years ago, which have fallen silent in the intervening years. When's the last time you heard a cassette rewind?? EXACTLY. This is the podcast that makes you think those thoughts and confront those feelings in an incredibly engaging way. Plus, The Great Leader gets very, VERY wet.
