United Statesa month ago - Bruce Allen for host
It’s okay… but why does the host have guests, only incorrectly summarise what they say before telling his own unrelated stories? It’s like he wants a podcast but has nothing to provide, like he said in Ep 4, he just can’t generate content on his own. Why make a podcast then??
