    I’ve been listening to the podcast since 2008. Always a great listen. However I’m disappointed with all the time between episodes. We used to get the show weekly, but we haven’t had a regular recap episode in months. I understand the hosts have lives, but an update about when we can expect new spades would be nice. I hope you guts come back soon.

  • They only like one show

    They used to be more balanced in reviewing and talking about all shows. Luke lives in the 1980s and refuses to be fair about show storylines growing and changing.
