@joshuacliston To be completely transparent, though, I think authenticity is quite important. Especially at the beginning of podcasts. All throughout the episode too.

[Chris Robley @chrisrobley]

So appreciative of this review! Thanks Josh.

If any listeners of Scratch Track enjoy the podcast, leaving a nice review is one of the most helpful things you can do.

...AND get a million worldwide streams per month,...

... you might be able to rent a bedroom in a big city.
