Not As Good As The Show…
I am a LONGTIME fan of WIOW, and I was super excited for this podcast. The theme of using your imagination and problem- solving skills is great and all, but I would’ve gave this podcast 5 stars instead of 3 stars because there should be about 20 episodes in each season instead of just 8. Keep up the good work with the podcast and PLEASE put more episodes in each season. Thank you for reading!😀
