  • Loud advertising

    Is it possible to not blare the advertisements before my eardrums are completely destroyed? I would love to continue listening but the random placement of extremely loud advertisements is pushing me to stop.

  • Inconsistent

    I love the podcast, it’s the perfect length to get the highlights and stay in the know, but the uploads are so inconsistent. Why do they sometimes go 4 days without updating??? Also TURN DOWN THE VOLUME FOR ADS!!!! They’re 10x louder than the actual podcast and blast my ears every single time

    Newscasts sound like they’re broadcast through a metal pipe. It appears my previous review, amended each time a show had audio issues, was deleted. Shows with issues:
