This podcast providing fascinating insights, vantage points, and has a very welcoming tone. If there was a Cheers for wrestling fans, this show would be it.

Editing my original review. After the first batch of episodes, audio quality/production is great, as usual for Arcadian Vanguard. I wasn’t so sure I would give a hoot about hearing from Brian’s officemates, but I do. So, to rewrite a line from a sister show, this is the wrestling podcast you didn’t think you’d enjoy.

InspectorTwelve · Nov 2022

Good interviewer who does his research and has a variety of interesting guests.
