I really enjoyed the extended series on Fred and Rose. I think it allowed for indepth character studies and details that are not usually included in a 15 minute podcast. Plus, it was sort of like the weeklies of days gone by, when one would be left with a cliffhanger! Then you are CERTAIN your listeners will be back next week. Please do some more long ones like that.
I fully agree.
