    If I see it again, I will have to unsubscribe. Weekly is too much. It’s bad etiquette to crowd my library with pushed content.

  • 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.
