  • Fix This 101

    This podcast used to be a reliable source for Do It Yourself homeowners to find answers. Seems lately this program has evolved into more of a variety talk show filled with personal anecdotes rather than fix it solutions and the call-in questions have been even less frequent.

  • Show use to be good

    I use to listen the show every week years ago when they provide you more often with more valuable information before the show introduced the lady that talks way too much about herself and stories that don’t add too much value sometimes and I don’t appreciate that she kind interrupt the hosts frequently. Nothing wrong with her in the show just I wish she could let folks finish their sentences and she takes too much time of the program to herself.

    Lady talk too much about herself and other irrelavant things imo. If she could add things of value to the show I would listen the show again. Thanks for sharing knowledge Mr. Jeff.
