  • What’s with the ads?

    Started listening to the most recent episode September 10, and not 1 but 2 consecutive ads before the show even started, IN SPANISH! I don’t speak Spanish and yet I have to suffer through two consecutive commercials before I can even listen to the show? Makes me not even want to listen to the show anymore. Seriously, DO BETTER!!

  • Funny and informing but podcast lacks details

    I love the podcast, but when it’s not explaining what’s happening, it’s just dramatic music and I’m usually confused as to what what’s happening or what it looks like and random things are going through my mind like where is the detail? what’s happening is happening? Is that happening? Was does it look like?
