  • Not what is was but still good

    Still good but the format change took away some magic. Exclusive sounds content.. bit annoying having to switch apps so I just don’t bother. I can’t just use sounds because all of my other podcasts aren’t on there.

    Long time listener… but I’m convinced these days that someone part of the production has asked for more background laughter and the excessive laughing is, at times, well annoying.
