Helped me win trivia
I knew who actually wrote who let the dogs out. Thanks Roman!
Roman Mars Rocks
His ability to tell stories about topics I didn’t even know I care about is on another level. 99PI is the gold standard for podcasts.
Excellent Content

Note to Stitcher...step up and do right by this show!
