Hosts constantly using acronyms I have no idea what they mean. Also always hearing sirens and honking cars in the background which is not great for listening in the car.
Extremely informative about the state of the streaming economy and entertainment industry more broadly. Julia and Jason always bring something interesting to the table
I’ve listened since the beginning, but was sad to unfollow today. The new model of a partial show is just disappointing. I don’t mind adding content just for Plus subscribers, but to take away most of the show instead, caused me to quit listening altogether.
I have really enjoyed this show, but I am disappointed by their new subscription model. I understand needing to find new revenue sources, but locking half of every other episode behind a paywall is not cool.
