  • Good idea, ads ruin it

    Love the idea and content, but the intrusive ads ruin the entire concept. How anyone can be expected to fall asleep with those interruptions is beyond me.

  • Just the facts

    Just tell the listener the facts about what happened. Stop infusing your opinions about the facts with pejorative language. Allow the listener to evaluate the facts and draw conclusions. I don’t need to be preached to. I won’t be listening to this podcast again.
