Another brilliant podcast guys thank you so much, you are always without a doubt the highlight of my week. Would it be possible please in future episodes with any pictures in if maybe you could zoom in or have them added to show notes perhaps? Not sure if possible but I struggled to see them in this episode and would have liked to. Thanks again ☺️

2021-08-18 10:08:40 +0000 UTCI am working my way through all the Patreon episodes I haven't listened to yet and I gotta say that I really appreciate the compassion you seem to have for everyone. You try not to take sides and inspire new ways of thinking about situations and/or people. I wish everybody would find a way to that kind of thinking and acting - or to simply walk away and let it be. We would have more peace in this world!
