Great storytelling as usual. But man, it was hard to keep all of the names, locations, and time of events straight in my head. A 30+ minute podcast covering so many stories was a little bit of overload. Maybe I shouldn’t have listened to Parts 2 and 3 in succession! Time for a second listen.

Agreed, but i bet you have taken in alot more than you think. It’s that subliminal thingy in action. Still a second Listen won’t go amiss
