  • Great guests but production kills it

    They censor culture and the bleeped swear words are very loud and annoying. Amazingly stupid decision but the guests are often great.

    Since this podcast is the only time some of the guests are recorded for us outside of the US it’s a missed opportunity to not let them talk longer.

  • Stop Bleeping. Please stop bleeping interviews

    Look... this is an AMAZING podcast! But you’ve GOT to stop bleeping the swear words. They completely lose intelligibility.

    I just heard the interviewer compliment Akiva Goldsman, and I have NO IDEA what they’re talking about now, because I have no idea what she said. All he replied was, “thanks.”

    You’ve got to leave some context, but your heavy handed bleeping is making the people speaking impossible to understand at times. And it was your HOST you bleeped. Come on!!! Get this together.
