  • Stop the Spoilers!

    This is a good podcast but it often includes unnecessary spoilers in the episode titles. It ruins the experience when I haven’t had a chance to watch the game yet, and I’d rather avoid finding out the results that way. I had no choice but to unfollow.

  • Please don’t put game scores in titles

    I recorded a game to watch later and was spoiled because I subscribe to this podcast and the title had the score. Had to unfollow as a result.
