  • I will unsubscribe if the producer does not stop recommending podcasts.

    I want to subscribe only to Milk Street Radio, but will unsubscribe if the recommendations do not stop. I do not want to receive a podcast fro an ultra wealthy celebrity who lied to her fans—, selling them a product while she lost weight using another different medication… who uses interviewees for her own benefit. Please stop.

  • I don’t want the Oprah podcast!

    The Milk Street podcast is great, but why do they insist on cluttering my feed every week with recommendations for other podcasts? If I wanted to subscribe to the Oprah podcast I would already have done so!
