  • New host

    I wanted to give the new host a chance but he says “and stuff like that” or “and things like that” after every other declarative statement and it makes him sound like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Unfortunately more often than not this makes it mostly unlistenable for me.

  • Good podcast, annoying marketing

    The hosts are great and the content is *usually* okay. My complaint is every day they push a “bonus” episode, which auto downloads, that is actually another podcast completely unrelated to Vegas. I’m sure they get money or something for it, but SUPER annoying.
