Can’t stop listening and reading

Just discovered the Mitch Rapp books in January and I’m currently in the middle of Enemy at the Gates (the sadness that it’s almost over is coming on strong). This podcast is a MUST LISTEN to anyone who loves these books. It’s been a pleasure to binge listen to the episodes as I binge read the books.
