  • Unnecessary swearing

    No need for it. Disappointing and a bit all over the place.

  • Disappointing and annoying

    Amateurish host, trying to be funny, and isn’t.

    Was looking forward to the Stephen Cockcroft interview but could only last ten minutes.

    There are many far, far better Beatles podcasts.

  • Decent Podcast overall has a glaring issue

    The host annoys me. I don’t think the host is as charming as he thinks he is. Gives me a weird vibe but I’ll give it to the guests he picks. They often carry the show and make it listenable
