  • Slow downloading

    I like the show. But, that doesn’t matter, because I can’t listen to it. It takes over two hours to get 40 minutes of audio. Every other podcast I listen to takes around five minutes to download an hour and a half of audio. When I leave for work, it’s never done downloading, so I have nothing to listen to while I work.
