  • I used to recommend people listen to the show but c3 was a downward spiral used to tie up all the loose ends of Exandria. C4 is great because Brennan but as a podcast is entirely used to push the goal of more money for less effort. You can no longer listen to the show and still be caught up to watch because episodes are split in two parts. Not to mention ads are just thrown in to the episode at random without any editing effort to put them in at naturally pauses all to send people to beacon

    Wtf happened?? Overproduced, episodes cut in half, ads thrown in with no care about story continuity, way too many characters in and out…should I continue? A damn shame really, was such a good show before.
