    Guru, Jere,

    I love the show. You have great coverage in the Android space for a hobbyist/semi-power user such as myself. While I’m a few weeks behind on all of my podcasts, I listen to every one of yours. Some non-Android discussion is great– don’t let the critics get you down.

    I’m a bit down about this particular show — I live in a smaller town and don’t know if I will ever get to try a knish, and the descriptions made me hungry.
