great

occasionally listen but when I do it’s very relaxing and rewarding. good for long drives and when working out. I’m a pre law student going to law school next year and listening to sam and amanda helps me learn new concepts as well as understand ones I’m familiar with a lot better. so much better listening to y’all than my mayo professors who wear black belts with brown shoes.
