If you watch the Youtube series or Daven's old podcast... most of this is repeats or will eventually be repeated. That said, if you love Simon Whistler's voice, this is a must listen. It IS only an audiobook and it shouldn't be any other way. It's an excellent listen for when you just want to relax.
