  • Time for a Cohost

    I’ve tried to enjoy this podcast since Kyle left. Ben is still funny and makes a lot of great points, but the new producer puts me to sleep every time he speaks. He seems like a nice person, but that does not make him a radio personality. I can listen to boring people at work. I turn on the podcast to be entertained. Please get someone worthy of being on the mic and let Louis stick to producing.
