If you’re one of the rare subscribers that gives the entirety of our often lengthy shows a listening, you’ll know that we end each episode of the #Pondcast with a plea for your questions and topics for next week’s show.

For those still doubting the still-not-announced club’s existence, there’s really no doubt that […]
