Am I the only one who sees the irony of this particular podcast? Simon is notorious for railing against twist endings but then, at the end of THIS VERY PODCAST, he reveals his very own, very sad twist. I suggest that he return and do one more podcast just to meet these charges and answer them firsthand.
