Solid Podcast that I’ve been listening to for years but what in the world was the justification or reason to bring in Algene Sajery. She contributed nothing, waters it down with boilerplate pandering and is clearly some pity hire. Otherwise good.
The revamp is amazing. It is snappy, informative, entertaining and the hosts all have a great dynamic! A must listen!
