Fan Mail
I doubt this will work or get to Mike, Randy, and the crew but I just wanted to say this: I love the podcast. It’s an amazing companion piece to my trips to CC (York theater shoutout!!!). There are moments when I agree with Mike and moments that dumbfounds me (how has Mike seen shrek the third and fourth yet not seen 1 & 2!!!). I text all this to repeat: I love the podcast and my local CC (and others but bias). Keep up the amazing work. Can I be a guest on the show? Joking. -Nigel J
