  • Wtf is up with the strange ads?!

    The content of this first episode I am listening to is fascinating and well told, but loud, song-based ads keep interrupting in the middle of words with no warning. The volume is so mismatched too, that I rewound 3 times trying to figure out what was happening. The narrator’s voice kinda goes in and out as well. Why is this so poorly produced and edited?

  • Not honest

    While these are well produced they contain too many incorrect assumptions, and base assumptions upon assumptions…too much inaccurate information

  • No time to listen

    My schedule can currently be compared to quantum degenerate matter. However, the episodes are getting very *long*, even if the episodes themselves are quite interesting, rendering them inaccessible. Please consider this problem while creating new episodes.
