  • The noise / fake music/ bad sound track

    Great conversations- awful noise / fake music / bad sound track. Is it necessary? No. It is entertaining? No. Does it improve my comprehension of the dialog? No. Just stop with the background noise. Please.

  • Interesting subjects but I wish someone else made the show. The host is doing a lot of Californication - there is a specific way of viewing the world and her is the right one - and she sounds very bitter about everything. It's listenable and sometimes informative but one has to go through a lot of complaining about how some "evil" people made it "intentionally" bad for others.
