  • Repetitive

    Has had some great guests but mainly rich people (including Alan) telling you about their rich holidays and using the name Karen as a slur.

  • Turn down producers

    This podcast was so much better before they changed the settings to give us listeners the “pleasure” hearing the people in the background. Alan and his guests are excellent - why do we need all the “audience laughter”?
