- Love it and am annoyed at times
Great writing great storytelling. Some of the guests are really hard to listen to, though. Especially the current one (Jordan?), cackling endlessly in the background at his own jokes or aspects of the story that aren’t really particularly funny. And don’t get me started on Prop… Completely vapid and unfunny in his endless riffs that add absolutely nothing to the experience…Edit for Himmler episodes. I wanted to listen, but I had to stop because of Prop’s annoying presence

Apple Podcasts5kane-oUnited States18 days ago Very solid classics, well worth a listen. A shame about the frequent ads though. Understandably gotta earn some money, but isn't there a way to avoid having them in the middle of episodes?
