  • ads falling from the sky

    i’ve just unsubscribed as your idea of dropping sponsorship ads randomly in the middle of the content is offensive and defeats the purpose of supplying a podcast.

    Disappointing as the content is great.

  • Please fix audio levels

    Great show, but the audio levels are terrible. One commentator can hardly be heard and the next breaks your ears. And the ads are so much louder than the show.
