  • Content Great Editing Needs Work

    I'm a huge fan of this show. After 8 years, it's still great. The editing (especially on Apple podcasts) seems to have gotten progressively worse though. So many jumps to commercial happening when Cody, Katy, or Jonathan are mid-sentence (sometimes mid-syllable). There's got to be a better way to insert ad breaks. I have no problem with yall getting paid, but can you do it without cutting off your hosts?
