    Not quite entertaining enough to compensate for the damage it does by weaving a rumor, innuendo and outright lies into a pretentious soup of overwritten pap.

  • Unbearable voice

    A voice is something that can be trained and cultivated. The host didn’t think to do that before starting an audio show. His vocal fry is absolutely intolerable
