Mostly rambling from two very uneducated middle aged man. The topic of the episode is getting mentioned for 2 minutes while very poorly researched. Talking over each other as well. You must be wondering what’s the point of this? I listen to some drunk talk being more entertaining than this. So painful to listen to.
If anyone is using this podcast for educational purposes please turn it off and read a book.
Overall, the content is fantastic! That being said, the quantity of ads is bordering on offensive and that's before mentioning the frequent interruptions literally mid sentence. If the production company could at least have the least bit of respect for their listeners that would be great....
Who is entertained by this? Nonsense, way too much yammering abt nothing. Edit. Edit. Edit
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years. It helped me prep for our Japan trip. However, when they just recently added the Video download, it no longer works. I always download podcasts in the morning before my commute. When I play this on my drive it doesn’t play, tells me I can only download on WiFi, then deletes the podcast. This only happens with this podcast.
Blurb…. And blurb….
