Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 26 ratings
  • Un-listenable cacophony

    The host speaks too fast to be discernible and the guests call into the show on telephones that sound like they’re from the 1990s. How can you be interesting or intelligent if no one can hear or understand you??

    Don’t waste your time on this amateur hour.
