  • Excellent hosts

    Well spoken and professional hosts. Caring and great about warning when they are about to tell about anything upsetting. 💕

    I have to add that- YES!

    You DO have listeners in Western PA. Not only am I familiar with Giant Eagle, but I know-and have seen- the world’s largest tea 🫖 kettle 😁

  • Lack of info

    Pretty much half of every episode is an ad. I know you can pay for ad free but this is insane. Barely any content because it’s all ads

I recently started an episode in which they talked ab... more
