  • The More I Listen the More I Can’t

    Both of the hosts laugh after almost every sentence and I just couldn’t do it anymore. What began as a fun jaunt into pop culture ended as a formulaic and grating experience. So many podcasts are just never followed up on. Maybe try releasing part one and two in sequential order instead of…never?
